New Jersey | Bell less reliable then Cable
I have 1 bell phone , and 2 cable. So far this year the bell phone has been out for 4 days in total. The cable phone was out one day, due to a power outage, which lasted about a day. So far cable is more reliable, and cheaper. |

Yes, we all know that 1 user for 1 year testing is statistically significant  |

Austin, TX | My land line has been out of service 2 or 3 times since 1979 for a total of about 8 to 12 hours. I have lost count because an outage every 9 or 10 years is not really significant. |

Hercules, CA | My digital phone service(AT&T>Comcast DP>CDV) has been out once in 16 years.
Seeing as *MINE* is one in a crowd, it is insignificant, huh?
et tu?

CDV is not the same as DP. CDV is managed IP, which every telco will eventually, if not already without calling it such, will provide. Toss some IP Telephony over a DSL loop and what's the difference between the telco and cable company other than price? Sucks for vonage though, they'll be following the pre 2k-ISP model  |
