In 15 years I lived at home our land line (through bell) has never had downtime.

Every responsible VoIP provider is at least recommending you have some sort of cell backup. I mean hell, even conscientious Bell reps tell you to have a backup of some sort.

It's just common sense.

VoIP is just another service over a different type of infrastructure. If you have a backup system that uses a different infrastructure from your primary, you're set. Ultimately everything connects to the PSTN anyways, so you're never totally redundant.

Why should you have a back up?. People have been using land lines for years with no back ups and they've had no f*** up like VoIP.

When you buy a car do you go back the next day and buy another car just in case the other one breaks down?

The only reason I see Bell telling you to get a back up of some sort is because they want you to buy a cell phone and plan off them.
