This sort of reliability could be crucial for quite a few households. We are now entirely VoIP here but I do feel uneasy about it at times because if the electricity goes out so does the phones. Cellphones could still work but how do you recharge them when their batteries quit? We have lost our electricity here for days and once lost it for over a week. BTW, we're 15 miles east of St Louis MO. The thing about landlines is that they seem to continue to work even when the electricity goes out.
