Do you use/have Landline at home?

[SVK]

Once upon a time it was great honour to have landline at home. The family in colony which had landline was looked upon with respect. Even in villages landline was matter of prestige and only politicians, doctors, advocates had landline.But today many families dont have landline. We have landline at our home, but due to road works cables got cut and now its sitting 'dead' for 5-6 months. Besides in my building nobody had landline. In my native village too now landline is not seen in any house (though every family member has mobile )So do you have landline at your home, & do you use it?

^^^ Haha, that was 1 of best episode (BTW are you not worried about privacy concerned with Landline)

there is already no privacy thanks to it act 2008.the real reason that i dont have a mobile phone is due to tracking and remote speaker activation.in the future your cash will be replaced by mobile banking,then there would be no cash anonymity.I will never have a mobile phone.

I live in area where BSNL not providing Landline , they said "Cable is broken". juz wondering it takes them 2 years and still counting to fix the same

Two landlines from BSNL (one for mom who is a technophobe, the other for broadband). Another Airtel landline for Backup broadband. I need ISP backup on account of my profession.

I have a BSNL connection at my home since the last 14 years..
Using broadband on this connection since the last 2 1/2 years.

Sure there is very limited mobility but we just simply don't understand the importance of a fixed line connection.

Wireless internet (3G/GPRS/CDMA) will never be able to match the quality of connectivity and the consistency of data rate provided by a fixed line broadband.
