That is something to ponder. However how many of us have a cell phone laying around? VoIP cant begin to hold a candle to PSTN redundancy and reliability, but it will get there if given the chance. The reason VoIP is doing so well and will continue is partly because of its signaling. The Bell network using system seven can only do so much. |

| Each person needs to personally evaluate their situation. Personally I have large power backups (minimally 1400VA at any 1 time), redundant broadband providers (all for other purposes, not for supporting VoIP come hell or high-water) as well as cell service so I have great confidence in maintaining my VoIP service. Someone who only has a single provider with a history of outages and high latency, no battery backup for their modem and ATA and no cell service needs to evaluate their situation to assess the risk (if any) of running only VoIP.
But this is all common sense. It's not an issue of whether or not VoIP is reliable as some RBOC shills claim it's not. It's as reliable as the BB provider you use and for the other issues as reliable as you make it
