Don't forget all those folks without home phone service and unable to make emergency calls.
- briandear 8y agoAre they using Comcast internet for their phone or do they likely have a cell phone?
- dev_dull 8y agoThe same thing happens when telephone service goes out because of a down power line. Nothing new here.
- JohnTHaller 8y agoLandline phones generally work during a power outage in the United States.
- zipwitch 8y agoAs carriers change to fiber for all or part of their network, this is increasingly not true. It does bring back fond memories of trying to explain to WoW guildmates that we needed to hurry up and finish the fight, because my power just went out. (Still online thanks to telco central-office based DSL and a good UPS.)
