My experience since getting a reliable VoIP company has been better than the MIL with POTS right across the road, she was without phone for 4 days last year. Think about it, if cable goes down the whole neighborhood will be out on the streets complaining, a few phone lines, who cares. TV, internet and cell phones mean more to the modern world than a dial tone !!!!
