that's interesting b/c I was told that if there was a power outage, I could still use my land line (albeit it would have to be a corded phone).
please re-post when you find out more info, b/c I would like to know as well.
thanks!

If there is a power outage you can still use your hardwired phone on FIOS, until the battery back up expires. Battery lasts up to 8 hours. The battery back up only supports the telephone while the power is out.

That is true. However, my two outages were 5 days and 14 hours respectively. I can live without phone service in my home for 14 hours, but 5 days is not acceptable. Definitely a flaw in their service (i.e. - what would happen in a disaster scenario?). I know we all have cell phones but I should be able to make a call from home too.
They told me that you can still use a hard wire phone on the jack in my FIOS box but tell the wife and kid's they have to go outside to make a call and watch the feathers fly.
Going back to copper when my contract expires in the Fall.
