At least the phone system works when there's a power failure!

Just heard from someone that people had to physically go to the office
of one known brand of elevators to go and rescue some trapped people

On most places, the land line failed instantly, because the network is
fibre and needs power at sites. Mine failed instantly, and it is on
UPS. Mobile worked while towers had battery. It is possible that my
tower was on the main exchange, so they had a big battery and a
generator.

Did analog and digital landlines fail equally? or maybe there are no
analog lines left in Spain.
