Re: Another fee...

POTS > VOIP

- POTS works come hell or high water, short of the CO being under water, or the physical infrastructure being destroyed.
- You can buy a POTS phone anywhere, for $10 or less.
- Equipment made over one hundred years ago will still work on a modern POTS line.

If you need a landline POTS is the way to go. If you don't want the reliability of POTS why have a landline at all? Go wireless and choose from one of the many unlimited plans currently available, most are priced competitively with the cable company's VOIP offering.

Wireless (at least prepaid) is typically cheap if you don't use your phone often.

POTS is getting harder to find in urban areas - FiOS markets and Uverse markets are pushing their VoIP versions
