Companies also take their PBX down without fines and FCC troubles (POTS or VoIP). @Graham Pattison: Last I checked only POTS require 99.999% uptime by law.

Verizon amazingly does state on their web site (for their home land line business), "over 1 billion calls a day with 99.9% reliability". I think this "marketing" approach has some major holes - It implies over 1 million calls a day have interruptions/issues. Whatever happened to the wireline 99.999% mandated lifeline service requirement. Graham Where did the other “three nines” go?

With the better ISPs the average uptime is not that bad, but when it's down, it's down for a long time. The end result is it's very strongly recommended to ditch the POTS line only if you have a cellular phone as backup.
