   Fiber ...

   First off, is there an adapter so your good
   old landline phone/answerer can still work ?
   Older people may have 'emergency' buttons that
   only work with a landline. But then the UK seems
   to want everyone over 50 to Just Die.

   And yea ... fiber-to-EVERYWHERE is not going to
   happen anytime soon. Can't get it where I live,
   and that's now in the 'burbs. Actually, ANY
   kind of hardline - including fiber - is now
   being downgraded ... you're supposed to have
   5-G connections instead. Much cheaper for the
   providers.

   Note, my 5-G internet SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS ...
   amazingly rare to see even two bars. During
   the day even the ONE bar keeps blinking in
   and out. Tower is far away and I have a
   metal roof and concrete walls.

   DID buy a 'booster' - would have to climb on
   a ladder (NOT great idea at my age) to set
   an external antenna. The thing DID talk
   about getting permission from my provider
   just to HAVE a booster ... NOT good. It
   may just stay in a box forever.

   Oh, finally, emergencies - the old hardwire
   tends to be the LAST thing destroyed and the
   first thing back up. Personal experience there.
   I will keep a traditional hardline as long as
   possible, regardless of the punitive pricing.
