Is it worth opting for VoIP? I’ve heard some horror stories about Internet telephony.
Anyone got any experience of the following:

GRADWELL CENTREX
Gradwell is one of the better IP Centrex providers. They can give you all kinds of numbers, one for every town in the UK, if you want to impress people that you’re company has UK coverage. For me there is still a question over IP Centrex, but if you’re feeling brave you could enjoy some benefits here.

SWYX SWYXWARE COMPACT
This is a pure software-based phone system. The handset apart, there’s no specific hardware needed. It integrates with any other software application on your network. So you can route a call by clicking on a number, whether it appears in a Word document, a spreadsheet, or it’s on a web site. Very convenient.

SWYX SWYXWARE ESSENTIAL
The great thing about these softphones is that adding an extra line is as easy as plugging in a USB cable. These are 100 per cent customisable too, through a graphical user interface. Which means you can personalise the phone to you’re your preferences.
