My VoIP phone has considerably more delay than a POTS phone. It's similar to the delay on a cellphone. I wonder how many people will put up with this "improvement." On power IP phones, I wonder about powering adapters with DC on the local loop? Or maybe putting batteries in all the adapters (which will be fun to replace a few years out).
