I have a land line. It was a traditional twisted pair until a few months ago, they came and changed over my drop from copper to fiber optic. Kind of neat having fiber right to my house! The phone company here (Telus) has survived by selling internet and tv services, the land line is almost thrown into the the price of other services. I can't be too nostalgic about the phone company, I don't really miss the bad old days of extremely high long distance charges. I do kind of miss Nortel though, they made such great quality phones, and in Canada too.
