Truthfully, the vast majority of landline service is via VOIP now.
True, though Verizon still offers the copper, at great profit to them.
If it’s VOIP, it isn’t REALLY “landline”, right? Even with battery backup, it’s still via computer and requires electricity, as I understand. My sister has VOIP through AT&T and during long power outages, it’s unusable if battery is dead.
I love our actual landline, plugged directly into the wall phone jack. If the power is out for days, the landline works.
