I haven't, yet. Verizon doesn't supply "maked" DSL -- at least not in my
locale. And they haven't dropped FIOS lines in my area, yet, either. If
they did either, my landline'd be gone. And I live in what I call a
cellular "grey area" -- not a black hole where reception is almost
impossible, but only slight movement can lose signal inside my house. Fortunately, I know the right direction to face & the right angle for the
phone, which both coincide with watching TV or working on the computer. :-)

Just curious... which direction do you face when dealing with a family member having a heart attack? or when the kitchen stove goes up in a ball of flame? or a child running through the house trips and knocks over a heavy object on top of themself, and they're lying there bleeding severely? A solid 911 communication line will be dirt cheap under these circumstances. Be careful that your wallet doesn't interfere with your critical thinking skills. OTOH, if you live alone, do whatever you want.
