I miss POTS. Copper landlines are a thing of the past. Now it’s just VoIP with a battery that doesn’t last long enough and another bill. (And place for scam/telemarketers/junk calls)

POTS isn't quite dead in the UK, but it's very much on the way out. The transition is slated to be complete by the end of January 2027.
