It seems to me that VOIP over fiber is functionally similar to a landline - you pick up a clunky phone and return it to a cradle. I miss that analog feeling! I guess the main difference is that you lose the ability to place a call if the power goes out.

A landline will usually still work when there is a power outage - VOIP and fibre not so much.

I'm in the habit of stashing a few UPS units around the house, so the home network has coverage....

I think my ISP in the UK (BT) offer a fibre package that has battery backup, probably for customers that have medical or emergency devices connected.

Australia is all voip too now. Although my new apartment has the connections inside the wardrobe which would make it pretty awkward to use for phone calls.

Very convenient for stashing away the router though.
