Re: More Reasons to Switch

said by pnh102:

Well if you are already having problems with Verizon landline service in a non-disaster situation, then it is pointless to worry about if it will work in a disaster situation.
Umm...I'd think if it was in a state of disrepair in a non-disaster situation, then that'd be a cause of alarm, not dismissal. I mean, internet and cellphones are much easier to knock out via normal operation means...a maintained copper network has historically been much sturdier.

...and no. Cellphone and residential internet's "best effort" availability services just don't cut it when lives are at stake.

Because some people want service through landline, and shouldn't have to be shitted on just because they want to keep their copper. Not everyone knows or wants to port to VOIP or a Cell Phone.
Life just isn't fair sometimes.

If phone service is that important to someone, then they will take the time to learn about alternate means of getting it if they believe that Verizon's service is no good.
*shrugs* Maybe it's just me, but it just came across as though you were suggesting that VoIP and/or cell coverage works just as good as POTS. However, as history has shown, POTS reliability fairs much better when push comes to shove.

If I was mistaken by your intentions, my mistake.
