Only one I can think of is it required power to work, whereas a pots line does not.

4. Will my telephone service work if there is no power? Shaw's home phone service includes a battery backup device. When this device is connected to the Digital Phone Terminal and the battery is fully charged, it will provide four hours of standby time.

Note
Whether you are using Shaw's home phone service or a traditional phone service, a cordless telephone will not work during a power outage, as the base station requires power to operate.
