1 edit | Haven't had any experience with VOIP Haven't had any experience with VOIP 911 but when I did need to dial 911 one time my cell phone with Verizon worked just fine. But I still don't trust VOIP because your kinda screwed if the power goes out and the battery backup on charters lines only last maybe 2-3 hours. Personally I am just going to stick with Cell phones and regular landlines. |

You're talking about a cable company, right? If so, consider yourself fortunate to have 2-3 hours! Every cable system that I've had is dead the second the utility power quits.
DSL OTOH works just fine when the power's out. I can't give up my creature comforts like A/C and the Internet just because the utility power's down.  And my TiVo boxes have plenty of programming for long outages! |
