Wait a second.....
You pay $45/mo for a land line ON TOP of what you pay already pay
for DSL over that same copper. PLUS a $5/mo extra for "backup
dial-up internet" - that also goes out through the same copper, plus
$5 for long distance - also copper?
And 5 minutes later you say that you enjoy "peace of mind and
reliability copper gives you">
You do know that if one goes out, THEY ALL GO OUT, right? When your
DSL goes out you also have no phone line to use your $5/mo "backup
dialup plan" either. No Phone. No Internet, No dialup. And no cell
phone (because cell phones don't charge $05/minute for domestic).
You could just to landline VoIP over your DSL and have the EXACT
SAME RELIABLITY! OMG! Dude, just get Vonage or something and screw
that $40/mo and the $5/backup plan.
DSL does not go out while phone service remains active - they both
go out at the same time! Your phone may have a dialtone, but it will
not dial out if DSL is also out.
