FIOS requires house power to run. The setup includes a battery in
case of a power failure, but I've heard* the battery lasts only three
hours. When the power failure exceeds that the subscriber is out of
luck.

* Friend in suburban Washington who has FIOS and lost phone service
after three hours due to the storm power failures which lasted far
longer.

That sounds right. VZ doesn't replace the battery, so the older the
battery is, the faster your phone fails.

R's,

With Vonage it all goes away immediately with a power failure.
