Plus I still get interruptions on my internet which would affect the phone service.

Another major advantage of POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service, yes it's an actual term): when the electricity goes out, the phone still works, and you don't have to worry about your cell phone battery going dead (since, if there's no electricity, you aren't charging your cellphone either).
