Along with what Mr Mephisto the problem with VoIP over the Internet is that voice packets need to be at someone elses place quickly and not slow like with dl's and such. Also, you can't have VoIP packets coming in at a random order because if you have a message and lets over simplify it as The world is big. break it up into packets 1, 2, 3, 4. Each word is put into each number packet. What you'd want is each packet to come in in the right order, but over the Internet, each packet may take a seperate route, so they might come in 1, 3, 4, 2. Which could be an issue. So right now companies are working on trying to get it so that the VoIP packets can get thru quicker then standard data packets. At least thats what my network engineering teacher was telling us.
