Dropping my AT&T Landline

This is the only way to get their attention is to cut services.
Just received my Ooma Telo device and next year I will go somewhere else for cell phone service. They have 39 Billion to buy T-Mobile and they never think about upgrading their network first and replacing DSL with fibre networks going to the home.

And what's VZ's excuse on moving away from DSL? They'll never build out into any new years. So T is just as bad as VZ.

Because VZ wanted to move away from horribly-expensive-to-maintain *copper* - and they still do.

Union-friendly politicians see copper serving customers as a labor safety-net *because* it's such a bear to maintain compared to fiber - not because it will save those same customers any money. (As the copper portion of VZ's network inevitably declines in capability, the M&R costs will only increase - how does that help customers any?)

xDSL is still going away for *all* of VZ - whether you are served by FIOS or not.
