VoIP is ‘carried’ over an Internet connection.
You must have Internet access (of which broadband is one flavor) in order to utilize VoIP.
For instance, Vonage is one VoIP ‘phone’ service, but you must have Internet, provided by an Internet Service Provider (aka “ISP”) first.
Satellite ISP, such as Hughes, would be one Internet service, which can handle a VoIP service.
Some VoIP services are free; others have a fee, which get billed separately from the ISP charges. Did you have any particular configuration in mind?
