gotta call for new VOIP service, e911

Sep 23, 2005 2 Replies

Gota call from an internet (ISP) company that promises TRUE Enhanced 911 (you say nada but your address shows on your local responder's console) AND



16 hours of phone service in the event of a power blackout.

This is the first time I have heard of these two promises.



How could a VOIP provider promise phone service during a blackout if they didn't also own and operate your internet service provider? The last blackout we had was due to a downed tree that took out all the utilities - cable, phone, and electric. Even the phone company could provide E911 under those circumstances.

An ISP IS an internet provider.

I think you omitted the word "not".
