Re: Who cares
I do. I did not have power for 16 hours since yesterday after the storm, and only because Verizon (Fios internet service) removed my copper line, I lost my emergency phone option when power is down for more than 4-6 hours. (Besides, my cellphone is working sporadically there too, and can not be charged without power). I demanded my phone line back! Verizon said: "manager will call you back. we are not saying it is impossible, but it will be a long process". Be aware of Verizon Fios cutting your emergency phone line. |

| I had much worse reliability with old copper lines in my area that VZ refused to replace than with any Fiber issues (including blackouts). Get an APC battery backup and you will always have a source of power... Better yet, chain them together OR only turn it on when necessary.
And quit your complaining. |

When power is out disconnect the batt until u need to make a phone call. That way it will be there when you need it. |
