Mine changes once every 6 months or so
I appreciate your update, and the notes here about other IP options.
I used to feel that way. I didn't want to give up my copper POTS service for any reason. However, I've learned that IP-based telephony actually is much more flexible than POTS. I can have multiple providers, and I can take the services to ANY TCP/IP connection. With the way that the copper infrastructure is deteriorating today (because AT&T, Frontier, Verizon, and others simply won't maintain the outside plant), IP telephony opens up a whole new world.
Wow, this is awesome news, Jeff! I had no idea that this combination would be available (but, I never did ask, either).syntaxsid1 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 10:21 am You can keep your copper phone service with us AND get our Fiber service once it's available for you there!
I am over 60, so I am "in my sunset period" now too.Keep in mind though, that copper service is in its sunset period and we don't know how long we'll be able to offer it in the future since ATT isn't required to lease it anymore.
Thank you for your notes, virtualmike. I am very much aware that IP phone systems are "more flexible" than dedicated lines, since I was in that business along with the "copper side" for seven years until last summer. I am not looking for flexibility, though, I want --the same reliability that I have had since 1989-- and nothing more, nothing less.virtualmike wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 7:33 pm I didn't want to give up my copper POTS service for any reason.
