Any thoughts about Skype?

A friend and I were talking about the rapacious charges of verizon. We pay about $70/mo. for local and long distance with no extras at all for our land line. He mentioned switching to Skype for VOIP and for about $150/year you can send and receive calls to and from non skype users. Even after buying a router to be able to use our handsets and buying a wireless skype headset and webcam, we'd still be hundreds of dollars ahead of the game. So it seems...

Anyone have any experience with Skype? I'm not worried about lack of 911 support. I have a cell phone for that and neighbors who are less than 20 feet from my house.
