Phones havent changed in 30 years, Prices have never gone down. It wasnt until voip that the phone companies started caring.
Hmmm...

Or are you talking about the fact that most POTS phones are still connected to an analog cable made of twisted copper pairs going to the central office and thus having a lot more controllability?
yup... Cant compare to digital phone in office buildings. Why arent there home digital phones , as opposed to pots. Why do i have to hear touchtones, that work sometimes? There needs to be a home switch option.

ISDN has been available for many years now. If you can get an ISDN phone, there you go.

Before AT&T was broken up, they were gearing up for a big rollout of ISDN, and I'm sure a nice hefty lease of ISDN phones to end users.

But that was in 90's right, what has happened since, i really wish there was a home switch option. Where you got a dsl-to switch at your house.
