This certainly is a frequent discussion point in some circles. A lot of =
carriers take your POTS/PRI and turn them into VoIP internally so they =
get the advantages of multiplexing the data on IP.
This isn't universal, but a good question to ask your carrier. If you =
care about your call going through, you may actually want to pay a bit =
more and be on that more expensive TDM gear. Of course, whomever you =
call may also need to be on that same carrier.
Take some time and research and test things out so you don't end up =
having trouble when you need your communications the most.
You may also want to find your local HAM operator and buddy up with =
them, or get your no-code license today :)
