How many still have a Landline in their home?

[Peter 315]

Depends what you call a landline. I still have a wired phone, but it's part of a cable bundle.
Don't especially want a cellphone. No need or desire to be reachable anytime anywhere. If I'm not home when you call, leave a message and I'll call back. No message, couldn't have been that important.



I'm surprised anyone still uses fax. Curiously, what for?

TP.....Its paper right....

We use fax at work as it is a legal requirement, sensitive medical documents transmitted via a landline that cannot be intercepted with a computer, I thought it was an international premise.

Your Brother Fax or 'Comrades' users, the more I look the more confused I am, is it a typo?

Some of our insurance carriers for "security" reasons have to have things faxed in. It sucks. And they are in the dark ages. But it is what it is.

I have an old fax machine that requires TP Thermal Paper.

The machine is branded BROTHER

Ever have to go back and find a receipt that was printed on thermal paper and it was like invisible ink?

I think you will find that the majority of companies that still even service copper telcom lines are in areas that there is no alternatives...i.e., no cell service, no cable service, no FO service...hard lines (and DSL) is the only way to go...
