Re: POTS is necessary said by wifi4milez:Bottom line is that you would need to be nuts to base your survival on a battery backup, so get POTS! Or a simple cell phone. Towers are much easier to replace and repair than COs and individual lines. Especially since cell towers are numerous. See Katrina for a perfect example of how the CO survived, but 750,000 people were without service because the individual lines from those COs were damaged: »www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9120503/
If you do a quick search on Google, folks who suffered through Katrina and the NYC blackout of 2003 said their cell phones worked when POTS didn't: »forums.cnet.com/5208-10152_102-0···D=264693 |

Alexandria, VA | Don't even need a hurricane. A sufficiently vigorous thunderstorm, can lead to the same situation (and has, for me). We get plenty of violent thunderstorms around here, each year.
