Re: Fios takes out the power backup selling point
said by burgerwars  :As being one who lived through the Northridge Earthquake, I had no power for a week and felt lucky when my power was turned back on. My POTS line (all that was available at that time) never missed a beat. FiOS, or even multiple battery back-ups, can't beat that. You could always be in a Verizon territory and in a green field deployment. We don't have the option of copper POTS; it's all fiber and a battery backup for the ONT, or nothing. (Not that I care, as I haven't had a home phone in ~6 years, but it is a point to note)
