"switch to voice over ip phone system"
It is critical here to know what you mean by that. There are two sides to the phone system: how the phones connect and how you get service. This results in three scenarios:
1) Phones use VoIP to a PBX which gets phone service by some means
2) Phones use non-VoIP lines to a PBX which gets service by VoIP through your internet connection
3) Phones use VoIP to connect to a remote PBX through your internet connection
I've seen all three scenarios with my clients
With scenario 1, your internet connection doesn't matter where your local network does
With 2, your internet connection matters but your LAN does
With 3, both your internet connection and your LAN matter
Knowing which of the three it is will help in deciding if your infrastructure is adequate
