Re: VoIP is a step down from POTS

Well, POTS is better than VOIP, from a quality and reliability standpoint. But it is a trade-off. I'm far happier paying a couple dollars a month for VOIP minutes than paying the crooks, er, the phone company $40 just to keep an old POTS line croaking.

As for prioritization, it is already being done. VOIP packets do have top priority on several networks already.
