Our phone is provided via the cable provider. This most recent outage (Sandy) left us w/o internet longer than power. Prior outages prompted us to buy a generator and we connected the modem before anything else, and the cable & internet stayed in operation during prior outages. No one missed the phone service all that much b/c the voice messages from emergency town communications still arrived as email, but we all struggled using either the MiFi card or the iPhone as a mobile hot spot to power computers! Definitely a first world problem.

Bookreader–does Cablevision charge a lot for the phone line when you do not have the Triple Play? We have so many services rolled in there that I am no longer sure what we are paying for, but I thought the phone line with unlimited USA phone calls was only $15/month.
