Yeah, but when they come to sell me FIOS, they will at the same time sell me
VOIP, which dies four hours after the power grid goes down [frequently].
Not if you have your own larger, more efficient, solar/battery storage
backup system to supplement the tiny battery backup in the installed
setup. There's a battery backup system for sump pumps. A similar, but
less powerful setup could easily keep your VOIP running for a few days
at least.
Your main problem then will be to power your desktop computer or
recharge your notebook.
