Sad times. I always liked having a corded phone powered off the phone line, that way if the power went out it would still work. Granted, these days you'd fall back to a mobile, but I like the nostalgia.
I also hate the idea that customers are paying twice for the same thing. I pay for my internet connection, I pay for my phone, but now my phone is using my internet connection. It's almost as bad as Sky are trying to do with their phase out of satellite.
yea, it can be. sucking-up your own internet connection, that you're also paying for, to watch 'satellite' tv. i bet she didn't get a discount for that, either. cheaper for them though, satellites are expensive, bandwidth is cheap (for them, anyway.. what they charge customers most likely doesn't reflect that).
