Well, thanks everyone for all your input. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do regarding the VoIP situation, but I suppose I should read up about FreePBX or NTG or something...
Not a bad idea
But to be clear, no one has specifically recommended any specific product or approach, just offered that Cisco is a terrible one, and getting a reseller instead of a consultant guarantees a bad result and it is clear that the reseller is trying to take advantage of the situation.It's not that FreePBX or even NTG is the "right" answer. Is that you have a clearly bad answer arrived at through a clearly in appropriate business decision making process that lacks both business and IT oversights. So all of the checks and balances that should exist in a healthy business are being skipped.
Well I asked my boss if I could check out alternative voice systems for comparison and he said it's my call... so it looks like I have the chance to do things the right way. That being said, I have no idea where to start. I looked at the NTG website and didn't find much valuable info, nor on the FreePBX site.. also, the vultr website looks like it has nothing to do with telephony and is instead a webhosting platform.. so I don't understand that...
Maybe I could give someone a call and go over some plans or something??

Vultr is a standard cloud IaaS platform. Not related to web hosting in any way more or less than to telephony. Your PBX is just a server like any other. So your platforms for it would be the same as all of your other workloads.

What are you looking for from FreePBX? Other than a download link, which should be pretty clear, what more is there to find?
