Re: Whats the point of home SIP anyway?

I have home SIP, the reason is that I gave up BT phone line after I got fed up with daily cold calls from various scammers (insurance etc.). After the experience I decided that I need not a one number, but a whole range of numbers, of which one number will go to close friends and family and others to various other places. After the move I quite liked the experience and also, for many international calls I make (both Europe and US) the call quality turned out to be much better than BT, and also significantly cheaper - an order of magnitude or so.

At this moment, to me the question is not "why would home user want SIP" - it is "why not want it", with one possible answer "lack of skills and motivation to learn". Which is pretty lame on ElReg, I think you will agree.
