| Re: No surprises Landline is a good measure more reliable than cell technology, in large part due to requirements such as backup generators at CO's.
A hum on the line isn't an impediment to making a 911 call. Losing DSL Sync, other connection problems (like that hum on the line), someone's router somewhere dying... and many other things, could cause loss of VoIP service.
I seem to recall a day, not so long ago, when power was out in New York City, and to many other people in the North East.. and yet for many, telephone service worked fine. -- Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD - just use the right tool for the right job... end the OS Politics!
Real politics is much more interesting! www.georgewbush.com |
