I keep one step up from the cheapest POTS (meaning free local calling but paid long distance) in the house for reliability reasons.
Last I knew the telco was required to keep some very high level of uptime for POTS where nobody else was. That means there has to be quite a severe problem before service goes down. During the great ice storm of 2008 we had dialtone the whole time. I had a temporary disruption of my Verizon cell phone, my wife's AT&T cell was down for a week, cable was out for a week. We even had DSL when the power was out because it would work off my 400w power inverter. Best internet service I've ever had. -Curt Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:59:34 -0700 From: Jim Cathey <j...@windwireless.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] parts site?

We use POTS. Far more reliable and better audio quality than cell, or VOIP here. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
