Basically its the same kind of box that gives you reasonable DSL speeds, and 'simulates' a home phone via virgin's wireless network. It finally lets people break free of the nasty monopoly we have here, where a single telco (Telstra) owns the whole wired network and charges other telco companies more to use for their users it than it charges their own users.

In Europe more so than in the States, the DSL-flavor of broadband is often offered at speeds fast enough to get up to IPTV. Here in the U.S., our Telcos are such foot-draggers, every competing technology on the planet has a chance to kill landlines. The battle that Vodafone and their peers continue to lose is with VOIP.
