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.

There is something to be said for the reliability of the old POTS systems. We recently went through a power outage and our cell phone connection to rogers lasted just a few hours. We dropped our old copper service since Bell pushed through so I cannot comment on weather the dial phone would still have been up but the fiber network was up for the full 2 days of the outage. -- Alvin Starr || land: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||
