If you live on the wrong side of the telco red line, as I do, your telco's plant might be neglected and sorely in need of an upgrade and/or repairs. For example, whenever it rains my wife's AT&T POTS line develops a loud buzzing. If it rains for an extended period the line will go out entirely.
To contrast, Comcast upgraded the local cable infrastructure so third-party VoIP over their cable works great, regardless of the weather.
FWIW, if we had an emergency right now we'd have to use the VoIP line or our cell phones to dial 911. It's raining again and our POTS is out.

| I was going to call AT&T Repair but I'd have to take off work which seems silly to me since the problem is not on my side of the NID. Anyway, Comcast's Digital Voice will be available here shortly so we're going to port the number over to Comcast.
