That's good to know.  It means that, if I made the switch, I'd have to use
my cell phone to call about either a power or internet outage.  Or to call
911 if the power was out.  But then, when my tree went down in the January
storm, I automatically reached for my cellphone to report it, assuming that
the phone lines had gone down as well.
