Re: Cheaper than having to have POTS
said by ColorBASIC  :And decent upload speed for $40. Only by ~$10-12 than my Metered dial tone & 3000/768 DSL. Plus I have real 911. Reverse 911 is a significant plus when you live down wind of a Nuclear power plant. 
Maybe best of all... No Contract !

| Living down wind from a Nuclear power plant I doubt you're going to have time to call 911 in the event of something happening to it. I live near First Energy's Davis Besse and in the event of anything happening to it my county only has 25 minutes and there's not a chance in hell 911 is going to be a number I'm going to be calling in that 25 minutes. |

Just to wake you up at lets say 3:00 am, and let you know that there's an unpleasant cloud headed your way.

| I still wouldnt be around if i was that 911 agent. Hell i'd be gone. But all Nuclear power plants are suppose to have those loud ass alarm systems that i'm sure you'd be hearing go off if there was a real threat.
And there are some cities that offer this just to their residents. Just not a 911 thing. |

LOL. You better hope everyone else is as dumb to sit there and call 911 so you can get the hell out of "dodge". Sure suck to spend your last 25 minutes in a traffic jam while everyone else has the same idea of leaving the city.... So how'd you die... Well I was behind your sorry ass. Why didn't speed up and we'd both be alive now! |

| Um... Sorry to be pedantically precise... But this is going to bug me until I say something...
Not all exposure to radiation will kill you... It all depends on the radiation levels and such.. Just don't stay too long in the radiation and you should be relatively fine (if you experience nausea and you know you've been exposed to radiation, get medical help).
Another thing: Reactors that go poof don't usually go up like a nuclear/atomic bomb.. Note: Chernobyl-4, potentially the worst known reactor accident.
