Oftentimes these have overflow copper lines in case of outages. I have to agree, this outage is concerning for business users…But, think of a traditional PBX which operates over a T1.

It's taking them forever to sort out quality issues and reliability and now this. It seems like all the disadvantages of a peer to peer system with all the disadvantages of a centralized system. Finally, add to that all the disadvantages of a completely proprietary system and protocol. I would jump ship the moment a competitor gets enough momentum.
