So far 8x8 is looking like one of the better providers.  About $30 per line
including taxes, fees, number portability.  $55 per line for adaptors to
analog.  Or you can get into their IP phones on a per seat basis.  Included
features list is pretty impressive.  I think I am going to kiss my copper
line provider goodbye.

Sure beats $50+ from the cable co or the copper line guys.
