Which areas still offer landlines? Actual copper.

Didn’t phone companies move everyone over to digital? AKA plug into the router?

Mine is going in and out of SOS in Rockville but even when it's not showing SOS, it doesn't work.

If you look at the Down Detector map, the outages are all major coastal cities, plus Chicago.

Of course, it's likely a cyber attack.

We tried to get a land line three years ago when we brought a House. They do not do them. No one does we tried all providers. The option now is basically voip which would also fail in situations like this. Would love a landline for emergencies and so I don’t have to buy my kids phones as early as

WTF. Who even has a landline anymore?

me. two kids. 12 and 15. I want 911 to know exactly where I am when one of them starts bleeding heavily. Not that it's happend...but it could.

I'm an empty nester. I need my landline to call my other phone when I can't find it.

Get an Apple Watch so you can ping it to find your cell phone.

Sort of. With FIOS, the voice channel is carried via the fiber on a separate wavelength, i.e., GPON. I don't know the voice protocol on the fiber but it's not VoIP, possibly ATM. I suppose I could dig up the manual for my ONT.
