said by smcallah:said by DaveDude: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.
