If I did residential VoIP (and I don't), I would probably insist on the
purchase or rental of a hardware SIP desk phone (Polycom IP610, Yealink
SIP-T22P, etc) or one of the Panasonic SIP+DECT cordless phones.
I've yet to see an ATA that isn't a complete
firmware/configuration/management clusterfuck, compared to the
provisioning features of a $50 Yealink native SIP "hard phone".

That's very impressive revenue. We get $20 and some competitors
charge $15, and I had not even thought of charging for inside wiring
maintenance. We usually try hard to convince people to just plug a
DECT phone base into the ATA. But inside wire maintenance is a big
cash cow for the phone companies, kind of like extended warranties at
Best Buy.

Brett,
Depends on where you are selling, we have almost a 50% take rate of our
phone system. That comes out to about 800 residential lines we are
selling at $29.95. BTW - almost 50% of those lines are also
purchasing inside wiring maintenance at $8.95/month.
