I can order VOIP and IP-TV services from the broadband provider I use at 
home.   This is realised by using a separate subnet per service, so with 
VOIP+IPTV+Internet I'm already using three distinct subnets.  I don't 
have to configure anything - that's all handled by my ISP.  I just have 
to connect the IP telephone and IPTV tuner to the correct port on the 
CPE and I'm ready to go.

Best regards,
