Most have "effectivel abandoned" all the copper already. The "main
trunk" runs along the back of my property and to replace it would
require tunnelling through a LOT of tree roots (almost a mile, end to
end across numeous properties) All the "spare pairs" have been used
and they cannot provide me (along with numerous others) a "clean
line".

A noisy phone line was why I switched to phone service from the cable
company.

The phone was noisy and DSL was as low as 1MB so I switched to
Rogers (cable) and an OOMA box. Would have used the cheaper Magic Jack
but I could not port my existing phone number.
