VoIP in the UK

mtbcIn the US we stopped having a telephone landline back in 2004 when we switched to Vonage. Up to 2012 we were customers of Broadvoice: their box plugged into both our ethernet and a telephone handset and a low monthly fee allowed us to call the US and the UK (and other countries) anytime for no extra cost and also provided us a telephone number in both countries for incoming calls.
On returning to the UK our broadband took the form of ADSL over the telephone line. Now there appears to be capacity in our local fiber cabinet allowing us to upgrade. On switching to that I would favor dropping our landline and switching to a Broadvoice-alike for telephony. I don't know the local market but at first glance companies like sipgate look to be the right kind of provider. Which others ought I be certain to include in my considerations?
