Further, if it's as far as your router, and therefor in your house, what's stopping it from just going straight to the phone lines? Basically what I'm saying is, what sort of network outage isn't really a network outage?
The router in question is on a remote seperate connection on a different network at the VoiP service providers main transfer station. Which in turn routes calls to a different number or voice mail in the event my network is down. Aka, with the providers rundent network my network could be complety down aka the house could have completly burned to the ground and yet I will still recive my calls.
