I know, it's weird isn't it? All sorts of bass-ackwards changes have come
alomg in the last 20 or 30 yrs, like using your cable to get internet and
using it to make phone calls. I know people that don't even use their
landline - they have cell for when they are away and use internet phone over
either Starband satellite or their cablemodem. The phone sits there idle and
the phone company is glad to bill them every month for a line they never
use.
