Yes and when I switched broadband providers they were keen for me to keep the landline, even when I thought about ditching it, but maybe that'll change now. The landline with my last two providers, BT and Sky, is now plugged into the broadband hub thing rather than the old wall socket; it's a very simple change. My mum will ring me occasionally and I only use the landline to call my mobile if I've lost it in the house.
