I can't get decent internet service without a phone being part of the package. My wife, who sometimes is stark raving nuts (sometimes), gets so upset at the only callers we ever get anymore (scammers, surveys, telemarketers, etc) that she starts madly listing off all the special ways she wishes to torture them to the edge of death! But...she refuses, in no uncertain terms, to let me unplug the phone as long as it's part of the package. I should just tell her I talked Comcast into disconnecting it!
My stepmother finally ditched her landline when Verizon could no longer come up with 2 good wires. If it rained her phone would be out for weeks. Back when I was in business this got to an issue as well. I had a fax line so I could call & they would have the system switch the calls to the other number until they could come out and fix it. One day the phone repairman told me there weren't many good wires left that they could choose from.
