    Not entirely true. This depends on the provider, for instance it is only free to call a handful of SIP providers with Blueface.

    I have not found any I cannot call, but that does not mean they do not exist.

    Can you give me any example or point me to some information that shows some information about what you have said?

    It is the upload speed - which is usually much less than the d/load speed on ADSL - which can be problematic ...... but usually only if you want multiple simultaneous calls.

    I have an upload speed of 384K and have no problems with two simultaneous calls.

    Whether you keep the landline or not is dependent on how you get broadband, your phone useage and type of calls => local/international.

    I use Blueface for International calls only because I have to have the landline to get broadband and Eircoms bundle for Irish lanline calls is more suitable for me due to useage. Everyone's situation is a bit different.;)

    They say the sppeds are 5mb 1 mb up thank's learnt some thing new today that its based on upload speed's
    Sorry for being stupid here completely new to me.On the blueface it say's unlimited calls to landline's i assume this mean a eircom landline i.e house phone?

    That's correct. Most notably, it does not include mobile phone numbers. although what they charge is less that you'd pay as a PAYG mobile customer.

    Not so much 'based on upload speed' but as the norm is to have the upload speed much less than the d/load speed it is that which usually determines things.
