[quote=Anonymous]VoIP also transfers your address data to 911 calls, it is the law that your provider has to keep these records up to date. If you use a third party VoIP provider (meaning it is not part of your broadband package) if you move you need to update your 911 records. Just because you have a Verizon landline with FOIS does not mean that it is the same as a traditional (copper) phone line. The copper was powered off premises and did not go down when your house lost power. Your FIOS phone has an 8 hour back-up battery. Not 8 hours of talk time, 8 hours. The next generation phone network is different. The upside is great bandwidth for broadband, the downside is battery back-up for a power outage. If you take VoIP, your "landline" will go down with either a broadband problem or a power outage, if you take a "landline" provided over fiber (FOIS around here), your phone will work for 8 hours in a power outage. In either case, it is rare and you have a cell phone. [/quote]
