Don't even use FIOS and Vonage in the same sentence. The latter uses the internet, FIOS POTS lines do not and actually work quite well unless you want to use a fax or dial up modem. Every customer I have that has switched still has copper for their fax lines. FIOS doesn't handle fax or modem data- yet at least around here.

And Verizon is not just offering FIOS, they are replacing their aging copper with it.

So you DO have a POTS option. Of course if you are using Vonage with FIOS internet service you gain absolutely nothing.

Here's the problem- consumers have no idea about the differences in carriers. They think that if it isn't copper it's VoIP and they all work the same way. WRONG!
