Because in areas that have relatively frequent natural disasters land lines will be more reliable and repaired faster then cell service.
Then there is also the reason that I don't have cellular signal in my house without wifi.

Other than losing power for extended periods, thereby affecting charging capability, how is this true? It seems like miles of physical wires are going to be more difficult to fix than towers.
- talmand 11y agoDepends on the severity of the problem. Cut lines are easy to fix as compared to rebuilding a tower that's been knocked down due to bad weather.
