We still have an old fashioned landline, per H, even though we have FIOS. I have a bundle. I switch between FIOS and Optimum every year or two to improve my deal, but I am looking at ditching the landline. I pay over $400/month for the FIOS and 7 Verizon cell phones and it is driving me crazy. That’s with a discount on the cell phone part through oldest boy’s employment with the Feds.

Back when people still paid for minutes on the cell phone, I would confiscate H’s phone as soon as he walked in the door and insist that he use the landline. That was after he used ALL 300 of our minutes in 4 days- AT HOME! We still have the landline for his business.
