Goodbye Landline


At one time We had two telephone lines into Our house -one for voice calls and the other for Internet dial up. The picture above shows the punch down block with a two line configuration. Even though We haven't had two lines for several years, I had never taken the time to clean up the installation.We've had a DSL connection with phone service for several years and always kept the phone service part because of the many "deals" offered by the provider.Well those deals have finally expired and it was time to let the landline service go.Little lump in the throat moment-- had that number for about 20 years but We all have Cell phones and  can't justify the added expense.Also planning on cutting back on other entertainment services like Satellite Tv,Netflix,etc. Entertainment costs are just crazy! I was hoping our DSL connection speed would increase after removing all the Telephones and having just a straight wired connection to the DSL modem, but so far no increase. Must be maxed out to Us. Contract says up to 7meg-we're at 4meg which is pretty good for Our location!
