One of the problems with VoIP is that if your broadband service is
down, you have no phone. Secondly, if you have a power cut you have no
phone either.

Finally, those concerned with security and privacy will need to be
aware that interception of your VoIP calls is relatively easy.

With Vonage you CAN call emergency services (provided your broadband
is working and you have electricity power).

I don't know what you mean by "NTL, does not allow their customers to
call VOIP specific numbers."
