Keeping You Connected

Even during a power outage, a wired telephone can access 911 and other services. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have a corded phone available and plugged in to a live telephone jack. Your DSL internet service will also be available if you have a generator or some other means to power the modem and any internet-enabled electronics you may have. Keeping the telephone system active is our top priority.
