In the US I had to give up real landline because they were charging a very high price. They didn't want to maintain the wires anymore. So I got a modem and account through my ISP. They charged $30+/month, trying to double or triple it occasionally, hoping that I wouldn't notice. So it was basically VOIP but it was sold as a different service. I now have Vonage. $16/month. There's a small device to make it work over ethernet. So my ISP could have given me the VOIP for a tiny fee, because it really was VOIP in the first place. But they pretended that they were giving me a separate phone line. And I fell for it! It took some courage to just dump their phone and get straight VOIP. The woman I live with still has a phone line through the ISP, but it might cost more if she dumped it! The prices mean nothing. Their official prices are very high, then they claim that whatever we pay is a special deal. They could charge us more for Internet than for Internet and phone if they want to. And that often happens. Companies want all the business in the houses they serve.
