  • Regarding emergency backup for voice calls, the company installing fibre in my area doesn't even offer a land-line phone replacement as an option.  Their web site points you in the direction of a large VoIP call provider.  There is no provision for battery backup.

    I only use the land-line for freephone calls these days, anyway.  The phone providers have priced themselves out of the market, when compared with mobile phones.
