Obviously there's a lot to consider, like how the phone line is pretty damn reliable compared to cable or DSL and that's important for a lot of services, but still.

Battery backup on the nodes along with the right configurations can make cable/HFC-based telco hit the 5 9s requirement.
DSL filters a fraction of the available bandwidth for voice, it's really not much at all and won't make much of a difference.
