At least TWC does this in Ohio which they were required to tell you. So its not the TOS the person has to agree to this before the order is actually placed and processed. At one time TWC was sending out stickers to be placed on each Digital Phone Modem and on the phones that way if their was an outage someone would know that phone didn't have 911 it was in big red print. But i see no reason why to regulate TWC or Comcast's Digital Phone/Voice product. It works great here in Ohio (TWC- Mid/Northwest Ohio). Far better quality than AT&T will ever be able to provide on their decade plus old copper. But I was even without phone a few years ago with AT&T at that time it was SBC- a contractor failed to call the Call Before Dig number and hit a fiber optic cable near my apartment building. my entire complex was out for 2 days. Until SBC had a fiber guy out here to patch it back together. But what did they tell us? Use a cell phone. So either way POTS is only as good as the Telco that operates it and repairs it.

Being regulated by the state PUC doesn't make your service better or worse. The Telco still responds when they get around to it.

digdugguy @148.183.x.x	Man they don't decide to fix issues they need time to dispatch people to it to fix it. It's not like any one can weld fiber.

It doesn't matter HOW it went out.. it's that it DID go out. It just goes to show that ANY service can and HAS gone out. -- "Wipe out the national deficit over night...
