Answer by frozenstorms
VoIP can take a significant chunk out of your internet bandwidth, and if it is unstable/slow, you might get poor quality/connectivity; however, on a corporate level, the upgrades to the internet, the new hardware, etc., is almost always justified by the large amount of money saved within a few years.

It might be prudent to note that in the case of a power outage, your phones would be rendered useless, which is often not the case with POTS, as the phone is powered through the phone line, though most people are completely dependent upon wireless receivers nowadays, which rely on a power source. But an “old school” phone is still useful for emergencies when using a POTS.
