So we finally ditched the landline phone in favor of a shared mobile plan and a cable modem. It just doesn't make any sense anymore. We're using Faxaway for our faxing and I even hooked our Tivo2 up to our home WiFi network instead (which has some cool added perks like online scheduling and mediacenter abilities.)

With AT&T now running VOIP ads and the explosion of residential broadband and WiFi I think we can anticipate the death of the dialtone within a few years.
