BBC article
Mobile phone use is continuing to reduce the amount of time people spend using landlines, according to a report by the UK communications watchdog.
...
And 9% of UK households rely solely on mobile phones, compared with 7% that only have a landline, the report added.
I have to agree... although we have a landline we almost never use it any more and never give out the number to anyone but our close family. Everyone else calls us on our mobile phones these days

My landline only gets used for broadband. This might change if T-Mobile are going to start 7.2mbs hsdpa. That would mean I would get data 3mbs quicker via T-Mobile than I can get through my phone line.

Same here, I only use mine for BB.
I must have made about £25 worth of calls in the last three months and BT want £160+ plus off me so no wonder no-one uses them to make calls. I called them once and was put on hold for 55 mins, they're useless anyway.
T-Mobile and
do those all in one data-cards so a move over to T-Mo only is on the cards soon.

just remember the 1gb "acceptable usage" policy on tmobile.
I use that much on my phones already and last time I checked our houshold broadband consumed something in the order of 20-25gb/month!
