said by BoriQua_M :The last laugh will be on you. It's the way telephone service is going and nothing will stop it. My POTS has NEVER gone out for long periods of time. But how many times have we seen "multi-hour" outages with VOIP providers like Vonage already? So when you're with no phone service for 5 hours the LAUGH WILL BE ON YOU. Go ahead, keep getting sucked into this so called "new and great technology". I never said I wasn't willing to try, but I won't drop my landline for it. The only thing your phone line is made out of is copper and relies on far less electricity than VOIP. I highly doubt I'd want a phone service that relies on my broadband too, something about that makes me very uneasy.

The last laugh will be on you. It's the way telephone service is going and nothing will stop it. Along the way there will be hic-ups like with EVER single other technological advance and what will really be funny is how you will come along for the ride. We won't see it, we don't know you but even you will switch. |

said by dslwanter :said by CO_Chris :said by Slidetbone :said by dslwanter :And people wonder why I stick with my landline. Same here. When they can prove it's reliability AND use routers and switched dedicated to ONLY VoIP and not shared with internet traffic, then I may think about switching. Time Warner don't share there DP with internet Traffic at all.There system works great Yeah and every time your cable goes out, so will your VOIP. Those little generators they have to give you cable service will not last nearly as long as the ones in a Central Office. Oh I'm going to laugh at so many people God-forbid there is a nationwide emergency. If there is a national emergency, I will guarantee two things...people will be asked to stay off the phone, and you'll get lots of "All circuits are busy" because to one listened!
So go ahead and laugh. You won't be doing it over a land line.

to bad he didn't have DSL and VOIP. Oh, never mind, his broadband would have been down to. Cable cuts happen, but other than that, my landline rarely goes down. |

My neighbor last week had a problem with his landline when the day-laborers installed an irregation system on a new property across the street and no one in planning bothered to have the ground marked for utilities.
That is a fiber they cut. Hope the landscaping company's insure covers the telco repair bill and justifies the skipping of traditional processes. Still, that landline solution did nothing for my neighbor. He was out three business days. |

said by ColdFiltered :I don't wonder why you stick with landline. In fact, I don't know you.  Yeah too bad my landline isn't dependent on the power at home. Oh and they have generators down at the CO. VOIP is just something that I wouldn't rely on entirely.
I have a cell phone but I still keep the landline, just in case.
