Digital phone service by Brighthouse Cable was down all over
Central Florida earlier this week for something like 14 hours.
It may have been out all over Florida.
No phone service whatsoever on Brighthouse network. I would
think that VoIP was out also.......

That's what happens when you use an entertainment company for your
life safety needs such as telephone service.
