I hung on to our landline like grim death because we have frequent power outages for long periods of time. We always could use the landline. I loved having it and miss it!
Then a year ago we had a power outage and no phone service. I called AT&T and found out they had laid fiber optic cable in our subdivision, and whatever makes that work requires electricity. Bummer.
“fiber optic cable in our subdivision, and whatever makes that work requires electricity. Bummer.”
Bummer indeed!
