I was told by someone that if you have Comcast and their phone service and the power goes out you lose the phone service. Is that true? I know that if the power goes out and you have a land line you still have phone service.

I have Comcast phone service...and if the CABLE goes out, then phone service can go out, too. The cable was out because of some sort of accident that "hit" a major line. Not sure where this was, but we had no internet, no tv and no telephone. The repair came quickly enough, but it was a bit uncomfortable being without a land phone.
The internet can be down, and phone service still works, at least this has been our experience, but if something really knocks out service, you could be without phone.
As for electricity...the power is out, the modem is out.
We live in Sumter county, Village of Caroline and have had phone service since the summer, July I believe it was installed.
