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.
