One possible advantage that a copper phone line has is that such is run on a separate power system (I believe its 48V and they have serious battery back up). This means that in a serious power outage it is possible to still have telephone access. Here we had an outage due to main line disruption and inside a lot too long a time cell phones didn't work and the internet was also down.
I was going to mention this. I've been in several earthquakes and several hurricanes (not in the same place), and my landline kept working. This is the only reason we still have it. SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
