What's the use case for purchasing a new landline in 2022?
- walrus01 4y agoelevator alarm line to connect to legacy POTS wiring going to the panel in an elevator? maybe
- pishpash 4y agoAn old elevator. If you were to design a new one you would route around the Faraday cage.
- toast0 4y agoAvailability when utility power isn't (at least theoretically), much lower latency (although everyone else has terrible latency, so kind of meh), desire to spend $60/month for $15 worth of service that the service provider doesn't really want to do anymore anyway. :P
- bombcar 4y agoBe aware that in some areas unless you specify a "burglar alarm" or "elevator emergency phone line" or similar, you may end up with a little powered box connected to fibre or similar. Some have battery backup and so kind of work the same as before ... for awhile.
- supertrope 4y agoBad cellular signal. Kids who aren’t old enough for their own cellphone. Heavy users appreciate the lower latency and audio glitches.
- jkubicek 4y agoKids who aren't old enough for their own cellphone is exactly it.
