[TriLUG] telephone system advice

[Jon Carnes via TriLUG]

Any decent internet service will work for a few phones - but you may have to invest in a nice firewall so you can limit the amount of bandwidth used by streaming services like Netflix and Pandora. 

The fall back is automatic forwarding of calls to cell phones - or any type of phone really 

Plus, you can run via a hotspot if the cable gets knocked out. I did that for a week. Worked fine.
