The only reasons I maintain a landline:

1. Give that out to potential phone spammers [charities, politicians] when I have no choice. If my house phone rings, I don't answer it bc anyone who I would actually want to talk to will call my cell.
2. Use it to make outgoing calls when I am at my desk at home. The clarity is better, it's easier to dial, and the speakerphone features are superior. Especially true if I know I am going to be on hold, like when I call the cable company.
Ditto.  Works great for reasonable cost in a bundle with cable and internet on Verizon FiOS with the package I got when threatening to leave for Comcast.  FiOS quality, tech service, and customer service in my area are outstanding and doubly so in comparison to Comcast - used to have Comcast but switched several years ago - don't know about Comcast's current status.

Sadist! We just got a termination notice from our current internet provider and had to scramble to get something else, which is $25/mo more for half the data allowance. :-(

Maybe it will at least be of better quality...

Hey, that is only a couple of beers and some bar food a month!  And you won't even have to work out or diet (other than your data).  Enjoy! (hopefully).  ;D

DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.
