Hardwired communications infrastructure is much more likely to
fail.

Hi! I'm sure the Chase and Bank One have switched over to digital
HF
networks moving their financial data around.

You think so? I don't.

A radio circuit is as likely to fail, or more so. It is also subject
to interference and interception.

I'm guessing that their data moves via phone
lines. If the phone lines aren't there, it'll move when there are
phone
lines. That's like what happens in my local grocery from time to
time.
The phone lines are down and the store can't sell West Virginia
lottery
tickets. People are told to come back later when the line is up.

They just want repeat customers.

All cellular phones interface to wire lines at some point.

My wired phones worked just fine during the Christmas ice storm.
The
adjacent wires carrying power didn't. It's all so confusing.

I can understand your confusion, Brian. The power lines carry
electricity. The telephone lines carry telephone conversations. The
gas
lines carry natural gas. Did you have any further questions?

As a matter of fact, if the downed trees cause power failures, and the
telephone lines are on the same poles and are downed, why does one have
phone service but no power?

Explain how that might be, given that one needs wires or, as Phil Kane
pointed out, fiber optic line.

It is also subject
to interference and interception.

And?

I suppose you'll have to take that up with your power company and
telephone company, Brian. I'd have to care more about your personal
situation to spend any time researching it for you.

Then your offer to answer further questions was disingenuous. Much
like the rest of your coments.

Not at all, "bb". I answered your question. I don't guarantee that
you'll like the answers.

Much like the rest of your coments.

I suppose that your comments indicating confusion over why your
telephone works when your power isn't on are infused with genuine
concern. ;-)

Once again, I've given you good advice. Your power company and your
telephone company will be better equipped than anyone to allay your
worries over the issue.
