Re: Communications will go down.....
Verizon has no signal around here. I have corded landline phones, but know from past experience the phone RT batteries are only good for about 48 hours and there is no backup generator.

That hut also supplies all internet access, so I guess we are doomed in the event of a long-term outage.

I do have the ability for radio communication, though.

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.

I saw this new Verizon commercial yesterday. Don't know whether to be encouraged that Verizon cell phone might still work in a grid down situation or disturbed that they feel the need to advertise this right now.

Re: Communications will go down.....
I probably wouldn't even noticed unless it happened at about this time, then I'd probably think that the hub had stopped working and go to bed. In the morning I would try and phone the phone company and realise it's the whole line not just the hub. Not sure what I'd do next though.

We can readily communicate now so our comfort factor is good,not getting on glp,or our cell phones well that's a whole new ball game.

In the movie "Next" Starring Nicolas Cage the FBI woman called and had a two mile area of cell phone communication shutdown.

Once an area goes down they will conveniently shut that area down.Keeping the commotion isolated.

Re: Communications will go down.....
in a recent storm, all power was out. A relative with a Verizon landline was able to call out.

A friend who worked for Comcast praised Verizon, saying their landline service has a battery backup.

not like Comcast.
 Quoting: beeches


A derecho wind storm hit my region of Southern Ohio, in the summer of 2012. I expected the Verizon landline to continue working. However it was dead. A few days later while driving through the neighborhood, I noticed where the 2 inch thick phone cable had fallen because of several telephone poles being broken, causing the cable to lay on the ground. However, every bit that was within reach, roughly a 300 foot section, of the cable was missing. Presumably an ordinary copper theft.

When these various systems become shut down for one reason or another, expect copper thefts to increase, leading to further outages.

here's further info about the derecho:
