Comparing VOIP in Canada

A friend who's interested in getting Internet telephony service stumbled across a pretty good story outlining what's available in Canada and the pros and cons of each service provider. The companies in the story include Vonage, Primus, Call-Net, TeleHop and Yak.
Here's the link: http://www.broadbandmarket.ca/news1027.html
On another note, I received a comment about an assertion I made that VOIP would gain little momentum in Canada because local prices are so low. This fellow rightly pointed out the monthly bill adds up if you have basic service for $22, voice mail for $8, call display for $7 and you make a lot of LD calls. For people who want multi-feature service and use a lot of LD, Internet telephony service can make sense. It will be interesting to see if these people actually jump ship.
If price is going to be a/the key factor in Internet telephony adoption, check out Comwave Telecom, which has two packages priced at $9.95 and $14.95 a month respectively. Not sure about the quality of the service but the price seems hard to beat.
