Any consumer VOIP providers worth recommending? My parents have some super cheap one that's been steadily getting worse, so they're looking to jump ship.

I have my super non-technical folks set up with an Obi200 ATA and Google Voice + Callcentric, and I haven't heard one complaint about it in over a year. It's a ridiculously good value for the price, but as wolrah said, there is really no support if you end up needing it.

They have a "Free DID" from Callcentric for incoming calls from GV, toll-free outbound (~$0.01/min), and e911 ($1.50/mo). Google Voice is the default for outgoing calls (free!) and redirects their incoming calls to the Callcentric number. For the calls directed outbound via Callcentric, they allow the caller ID to be set to the GV number once you complete their verification process. It takes a little bit of setup, but has been pretty foolproof.
