[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] FW: Realtor Makes Horror Realization While Selling House to Gen Z Buyer

[carllazarus at comcast.net]

I haven’t had a POTs line in many years, but I consider my Comcast Internet phone service to be a landline.  Maybe we should talk of home phones and personal phones.

Fortunately, I do have good cellular service from Verizon.  Although Comcast keeps telling me I would save money by switching to their cellular service, I like the idea of having two very separate phone carriers for reliability.  It is a belt-and-suspenders philosophy.

Funny because just this morning I heard on TV that landlines are beginning to make a comeback because GenZ thinks they are neat!

 

I always thought of landlines as meaning a copper wire POTS line, but AT&T, which provides the local landline service here in Charlotte, won’t give you a POTS line anymore. My POTS line broke a couple months ago and they told me they weren’t supporting or fixing them anymore because they want everyone who has one to move to Internet/IP service. So, is an Internet/IP phone still a “landline” or a “home line”? 

 

I actually wish I had a POTS line so I don’t lose service when I have an Internet or power outage. Unfortunately, cell service from all three carriers is terrible on my street so I need a booster that works off of my Internet service. So, when I lose Internet, I lose both the landline and service.

Realtor found his Gen Z client doesn’t have a concept of a landline.
