This could be a worry. You can register your VOIP number with 911 and then
(theoretically) there is no difference. The other minor thing to think about
is that if you lose power, you lose your "land line", since the cable box
requires power. That doesn't happen with a POTS line.

On the other hand, we have a cell phone so that is not too much of a
problem. If you live in an area without cell coverage you would have this
limitation on a VOIP account.
