Re: wrong direction

said by sholling See Profile :

I'm just waiting for them to hook up my FIOS and my landline goes away. The fiber has been at the curb now for 6 months. If only they'd get around to hooking it up.
Originally I had ADSL for my internet, until I discovered my cable company could offer 25mbit speeds (over 4 times faster) for half the price.

I have wireless for phone, cable for internet, why have a landline I never use? It seems very obvious to me that almost everyone is leaving their landlines for the same reasons. No bang for their buck.

I asked my telco when I canceled, "what could you possibly offer me to stay?" and I didn't get a response back
