Of course iiNet wants you to sign up for iiPhone and pay the line rental
to them instead. At least with a POTS line they can control under
contract which provider you are with. Ie if you want to opened up
ADSL/ADSL2 speeds you must be with them for local and long distance on
the POTS line. If however you are making all your calls over your
internet connection it would be very difficult for them to police which
VOIP provider you went with.
