Where I am, people further out than me can't get a good cell signal even with boosters, so they have a landline. DSL works up to 8 miles from the village, so that's about 7 miles away from me, everyone closer than that has DSL, which requires the mandatory landline ($35 for local calls included only, $50 for DSL= $85 for 1 meg DSL). The village has a locally owned phone company, they upgraded one direction out of town to fiber optic, but aren't doing the rest of us. 8 years ago they said they were going to do it in 5 years, this summer they said they were going to do it in 5 years. The cellular Internet I have is cheaper and faster, and I can live with the 100 GB cap. Also the Straight Talk home phone device is about $16 per month for unlimited calls, so the landline is gone, couldn't get any Internet from them anyway. Several of the neighboring villages are part of a bigger operation, many of them ran fiber optic to most rural customers, 20+ miles from town in some cases. They have bundles with a cable tv type thing included in some of them. So if they are putting in stuff like that now, I doubt landlines will die soon around here. Unless the upcoming low orbit satellite networks do what they could.
