VoIP is the future and while it is currently profitable, I don't think
it will be long-term. I expect long-term telephone service as we know it
will be free. In the mean time, VoIP sells data better than almost
anything else.

I'd rather just bundle a VOIP service in a higher level tier (let's move
from 38 / mo to 55 or 60/mo ) of service, but needs to be affordable for

to do. Still, nobody's offering this kind of service, that I can find.
Either it is sold as raw products (requiring me to build a whole VOIP
system
for my customers use) or as higher than retail priced "wholesale"
programs.
Maybe you stumbled upon the fact that no one offers what you want
because it isn't cost effective to do so. As much as we try to wholesale
our VoIP offers to other WISPs, they want their cake and eat it too.
Being an ISP or for that matter a VoIP provider requires either relying
on others' infrastructure, making thin margins, and making it up in
volume or building out your own infrastructure and making great margins.
There really is no in-between.
