[Hidden-tech] Comcast Phone Service

[Garth]

We have had Comcast phone-internet package for 4 years (every since Verizon
royally f*'d up our DSL install.... that's $5000 they lost there!).  It is
quite reliable.  If the power goes out, your internet-modem will go down
(unless you have it connected to a UPS along with your wireless router
perhaps?), the phone-modem will  continue to run on batteries for a while.
If you have one of those (circa 1995) phone that just plugs into the phone
jack vs. having 2.4GHZ wireless/digital answering machine/integrated coffee
maker, it will work fine.  Ah, the joys of old reliable technology..... I've
had that little black AT&T slimline phone for 15+ years; in the same time, 3
or 4 cordless phone/answering machines have died.
 
just my 4.76 cents....

We have this service, and while I find it very good and reliable, we live in
an area of the world that has no cell phone service.  So, when the service
goes out, we have no service whatsoever.  Even if the modem does have the
backup battery, the phone we have connected to it requires juice from the
wall.  So, when the power goes down, we have no phone service.  I don't know
if the battery backup powers a standard landline phone that gets power from
the phone line.  All-in-all, though the service has been good.  Just have a
backup.
