I'd like to ditch my landline, and my internet is over cable rather than the landline, so there should be no inconvenience. However the pricing system (UK, Virgin Media) means that Internet+phone is almost the same as just Internet :/
- pavel_lishin 11y agoWe had a landline in college for the longest time for DSL, but cellphones were already ubiquitous then - we just never bothered hooking up the phone to it. We could still call out in case of emergency, but it freed us from receiving calls. (On the other hand, given how many people here don't pick up unknown numbers, calling anyone except emergency services from a previously unused landline would be useless...)
- Digit-Al 11y agoI know what you mean. Every time I try to cancel my Virgin Media land line, they offer me phone + internet for cheaper than just internet. And then over the term of the contract, the price seems to gradually go up and up :-( Still the best and fastest internet though.
