Once you buy the Obi unit, most if not all calls are free (with a GV #)

I completely disagree.
In the case of traditional utilities, something is actually "made" electricity, water, etc. and then distributed. So usage based billing makes sense.
In the case of the internet, we aren't making "bits"; there isn't a finite amount of them.
The "last mile"...
I had the same issue with my LE board as well.
My only fix was a replacement Mobo, in this case the P8P67 Pro. Same bios revision, same bios settings. Just better power regulation
