Aye, indeed. I experienced local POTS phone lines for something like my first 35 years. Bad ice storms? Weeks-long power outages? Whatever; POTS didn't care. The only time I ever picked up a real telephone at home and didn't get a dialtone, I wandered out to investigate and saw the wire for the house just laying there in the alley -- apparently, it'd been hooked by a passing truck. They (The Phone Company) had it fixed within one hour after we let them know. (An hour of downtime over 35 years. How many nines is that?) |
