My question is hy would anyone get phone service from a company that can't even give you trouble free, reliable tv service??

Most if not all wireless routers work on 2.4Ghz. So do many garage door openers, cordless phones, baby monitors etc. It is just the nature of the beast with wireless. You are bound to have interfernce of some sort, at one time or another.

Comcast phone is a Voip, not a true phone, and they have plenty of problems with it. My parents have it, one time my mother was talking to her sister on the phone. My aunt asked my mother if her tv picture was messed up? My mother looked at her tv, and it was tiling. She asked my aunt how she knew, and my aunt told her that she was coming though staticy.

Also why would you rely on them for 911. 911 is a proprietary system developed by the phone companies years before cable offered phone. That means that all of the E911 equipment in the police,and fire stations is maintained by the phone company. Guess what, cable has no access to it. They may have some sort of system in place, but it is not a direct connection.

Anywho we will all be fishing soon...
