I made the switch to VoIP over a year ago (February 2004) and the price has kept going down. For $29.95 CDN a month, I get a phone line, voice mail, caller ID, call waiting, unlimited long distance in Canada and the US and a few other great little goodies. No setup fees, no connections fees, no system charges. It's great.

911 service isn't a problem as long as you make sure your carrier has your correct address on file. The only time a problem will arise is if you move your phone to another location without notifying your carrier (since most VoIP lines are portable). For example, my home is in Montreal. If I fly out to Vegas, hook my VoIP line into a condo I'm renting for a month and call 911, the ambulance will be sent to my place in Montreal unless I'm able to communicate my current address.
