I don't know of any houses in my circle of friends/family that have a "landline" phone that'd last past the first power outage, with portable phones being the choice du jour these days...

So, your landlines die after an hour of power outage now? find that hard to believe... sniff sniff, yes, troll day appears to have come early this week..<BR>
<BR>
and as for portable, how many old folk (70/80+) run around living on their mobiles. SFA thats how many. <BR>
just because the average person and their inner circles here live on the things, dont assume the rest of the population does as well.<BR>
and the elderly are the MOST and highest "at risk" from this change.<BR>

So as far as your mum is concerned yes there will be a few hours of disruption when she gets the fibre connected, and from then on the phone won't go all crackly when it rains any more and she will be set for the next 60 years or so.<BR>
