I agree with you! even the average postpaid plans with cellphones,
it's still cheaper than landlines and only takes at least 24 hours to activate.
plus, you get more services than landlines! we ditched our landline years ago, and just last month we wanted to apply again for landline for BB, but we found out later that even broadband isn't available in our area, only voice calls! how primitive can that be? rotary phones anyone? lol

Landlines are geting less and less significant day by day. But I stil think that those huge business people still need them.

Interesting. And we thought the preference for mobile over landline was an African phenomenom! The last time I used my landline was late 2005, I believe. All my calls - personal or business - since then have been on mobile.
Same goes for my wife and other I know. Dad still uses a CDMA fixed wireless phone, but only for internet access too.
Mostly, only corporate organisations still use landlines here, and there are very few of those around.

Yes, here the people are giving up landlines. They use mobile phones a lot.

Hi all,
Actually the T-Mobile USB Modem is £29 per month and the USB Modem is free but it does require an 18 month contract it also appears this only has a 3GB per month allowance not sure if there is a higher package for this or not.
But since moving back to my parents due to my ill health they have Talk Talk as there phone provider and i have a Broadband only package from BT that costs me £15 approx per month but has a 5GB per month limit and last time i ran a speed test was getting just under 4megs speed.
A 3GB per month may be OK for some but currently i am downloading loads of content for my soon to arrive iPod but even if i exceed my 5GB limit BT will warn to cap my usage before taking any action. Also Broadband speeds are going to increase so I'm not sure how long the mobile Networks will have a speed advantage for plus unless you are with a cable provider the more people using the system at any one time the slower the service will become and i believe this will effect the Mobile Networks as well.
Really for the best broadband experience and constant speed cable is the best. The only time i use a land line phone is when i have to dial those really annoying 0870/0845 numbers as are the only numbers i can't call cheaply from either my Mobile or Skype, actually i should check as Skype they may actually be cheaper but i really hate those 0870 or 0845 so called local call rate numbers and think companies help lines should be banned from using them as they are a real rip off IMO.
