That's the downside that will always be there, most likely. If the cable TV and internet service is out, the phone is out.

In the event of a local 911 outage, like if the dispatch center has to go "inactive," e911 will instead connect to the closest working dispatch center.

The majority of the cable lines around here are buried, and there are very few outages. When I had regular phone, it was out a LOT, as all those lines are above ground and most of them pretty old.
