Here you are optionless on a land lne one company has the monopoly, Frontier. Dam every call local was .10 seriously. Went Vonage over the cable works great and cheap. under 25 a month.
Frontier bought up all the old copper from VZW and ATT... They're the slum-lord of telcos. That's all that is around here as well Spent a hour on the phone with "Customer Service" and they couldn't find my house... (really) ... theres a ring/tip line running to the house and phone jacks on the walls so SOMEBODY provided service at some point. Whatever... Going to put up an exterior cell extender antenna and in-house booster.
