I'd rather have two tin cups connected with a string than trust my cable provider for reliable phone service! :^)

rkral, RE: Not when all services on the cable system die. IOW, the most frequent outage is on the cable system ... while my residence still has AC power. Now I don't have VOIP over cable, so maybe that behaves better ... but I am skeptical. Interesting. In the entire time I've had VoIP over cable, my phone service hasn't gone down except for the one time when my entire area lost power for a week. Even then, cable service was up and running two days before the power was.
