Re: VoIP isn't POTS....

The service works in terms of making standard voice calls, and in that respect it is a valid POTS replacement.

In the respect that people expect any other services to work over Earthlink's TrueVoice, like faxes, home alarm systems, dial-up modems and such, it is in no way capable of being called a POTS replacement.

That's the thing about POTS, VoIP and LPV. None can do all of the features without some adjustments out-of-the-box. POTS doesn't have VoIP features, VoIP doesn't have emergency power backup, and LPV can't handle anything but standard voice calls.
