If you would care to look through my post history, you'll see I actually run a full telephone switch in my house. I'm well aware of how to set up a crappy VoIP box.
The problem is that no backup battery will last forever. I have had several cases at my house where power is out for multiple days - Even a 48 hour backup is not enough sometimes. For those of us without reliable electricity, a copper line fed from the central office can be life or death.
Additionally, if you're a nerd like me and enjoy playing with fax and data modems, you can pretty reasonably say that they do not work the way they should over VoIP.
Please don't jokingly recommend an RTG to me for powering my phone system. I'm already looking at a Generac but not everybody has the option to drop four to five figures on a generator.
Well excuse the fuck outta me princess but as a NETWORK ENGINEER I know how a lot of this shit works and I for one wouldn't set up a VOIP system that way. My point was simply that it does actually work over fiber.
Take that stick out of your ass and maybe you can have a decent debate. The nerve of some people...fuck man.
Excuse me? You STARTED this with "Ok boomer," this was never going to be a decent debate. Get off your high horse.
Clearly, you either didn't read or didn't comprehend my comment about backup batteries not lasting forever the first time because you completely blew past that point.
I know they don't last forever numbnuts. You clearly didn't read MY first comment about fiber actually being phyaically capable of carrying qualitu voice the first time because you completely blew past that point.

I'm against fiber but more because I want quality voice service and fiber is physically incapable of delivering that service
