VoIP - Slate on the state

"The downside of VoIP is that it's not real phone service. You may pay fewer taxes, but you don't automatically get, say, 911 service, and the thing won't work in a blackout. Reliability also is not always up to land-line snuff. Sometimes there's no dial tone, your outgoing calls don't go through, or the other party can't hear you. I also have a nagging suspicion that I am missing important calls, a fear stoked by scattered complaints like, "Your Internet phone sucks" and, "Why does your damned phone never pick up?"
