Yes, I think it is best to always put the ISPs modem in bridge mode if you can -- but VoIP /may/ be one thing that stops people from doing so.
I have a Sipura 3000 VoIP adapter behind the Technicolor modem, because the built-in VoIP doesn't work in bridged mode. But most people use mobiles these days and barely use landlines. Businesses might want to run Asterisk and use VoIP handsets.
Yes, your own ATAs solve some of the problem, but you need to be provided with the VoIP login/setup details. I wouldn't run an Asterisk server as there is far too great a risk of massive bills if your server is compromised or somehow mis-configured enough. To me, it's not worth the risk. I do use Sipsorcery though, one of very few pay for subscription services that I subscribe to. A.
