Interesting. My grown kids rely on cell phones (one has a land line, but rarely uses it). I think cellular service is spotty and poor enough, even in relatively urban areas, that I do not want to be without a land line. But our main 'household' land line is through RCN cable, now 'digital', so probably something like VOIP.
I do still have my two business lines (though I don't really need them any more), through One Communication, now part of Earthlink. These lines are leased from Verizon, and I believe are still entirely legacy copper. When RCN goes down, they still work. My wife uses the fax line to call patients, so they won't get a usable number (they can page her).
