I always assumed that VM wouldn't use localised power for their network so it wouldn't be affected, in much the same way that BT phones continue to work when there's a local power cut. Is this not the case??

Talking of phones, when VM move us over to VOIP our phones will go down too (though there are provisions for vulnerable customers).
