Default for those of you who say land lines are reliable

I didn't bother having it turned on the last time I moved and I
haven't yet missed it. Been there for almost three years now.

Your original question, I believe, was why don't more people cancel
their land lines. I think it would be fair to say at this point that the
answer is pretty obvious: we all haven't had the same problems that you
have. If I'd had your experiences, I'd feel the same way you do.

I can only recall one time in my whole life when I had any problem at
all, and it was resolved quickly by the phone company - Verizon. My
cell, OTOH, is often a nuisance, with latency, dropped calls, and ****ty
fidelity.
