“I can’t believe people make 911 calls, or risk their conversations being overheard/recorded all the time, on cell phones.”

I can’t believe anyone would actually depend on their cable company as their only means of telephone communications. I mean, if my cable co’s broadband connectivity is anything to judge by I wouldn’t want to depend on them for phone service.

Actually, we still have an old, wired touch-tone phone connected to our landline. Good thing about that? It usually works even when the power is out. Of course, we also have a couple cellphones.

Remember the cellphones being all jammed up after 9/11? THAT is why I still want a landline. I don't want to be caught not being able to communicate.(I don't have a cable telephone)
