From three to zero in 10 years
Ten years ago, there were three phone lines coming into this house - one for the family to talk on, one for the internet, and one for fax, which got taken over by a teenager.
Now there are none.
The teenagers have grown up and left, my husband and I have cell phones, and the internet is accessed through cable. We were spending almost $30/month for... nothing.
I don't think we're going to miss it. If we do, we'll go with Vonage which offers more services for about half the cost.
Should the phone companies be worried?
Hopefully... soon!
I kept remembering how they told me in 1999 that DSL would never, ever be available in our neighborhood and that there were not any plans to ever upgrade the lines here. That was stupid and arrogant.
