| Five 9's? Where do you live & which phone co do you have that gives you that type of reliability? I can measure my downtime for landline in terms of days (~14 days last year), while the downtime for my VoIP is only a few hours for all of last year. Had similar results for 2004, with the landline down even longer. |
| up here the phones worked during the flood of '97, you really should talk to your public service commisioner if you are experiencing that many outages on a landline (unless they are hurricane related), there is just no excuse for that. Part of receiving those USF funds means they need to keep a well maintained system available to all. |
