Depends on your market. Not everyone can get $5.70 basic POTS. In my area it's $10+taxes and fees for a total of about $18.

But you can get away with metered service with DSL. With dialup I'd be paying $18 for unlimited local plus taxes. But even then, POTS plus cheap dial up is less than 1/2 the price of Verizon's cheapest DSL.
In Michigan, the cheapest is around $24:

Monthly Service - Jun 10 thru Jul 9
Call Plan 50 13.93
Zone Service 1.69
Federal Access Charge 5.37
Total Monthly Service 20.99

Local Calls
Call Plan 50
2 Call(s) were placed this month
50 Call(s) were allowed

Surcharges and Other Fees
9-1-1 Emergency System
Billed for Ottawa .22
Federal Universal Service Fee .60
Total Surcharges and Other Fees .82

Taxes
Federal at 3% .65
State at 6% 1.31
Total Taxes 1.96

Total Plans and Services 23.77
