Just like their digital voice...

Their website claims that POTS lines are digital. As all they advertise is "Digital voice" service. No digital at all across that last mile to the CO.

These folks need a good investigation from the FTC.

Well, if the telephones you connect to the line have push buttons and you use your fingers (digits) to press those buttons, then they are "digital" in nature.

Oh, wait, if you have a dial phone that you use your finger to dial, then that's digital, too.

Well, the only part of a POTS line that is analog is the copper from you to the CO, it's coverted to digital right there in the CO, it's been this way for years.

You might as well say that DSL isn't digital either, since it is an analog carrier until it gets to your DSL modem. Or that digital cable isn't digital, because it's analog until the digital settop turns it back into 1's and 0's.
