I've been keeping an eye on my POTS bill, and it just shot up almost
$3/mo, again. It seems to go up a dollar or two per month, every year
or two. I pay well over $10/mo more now, then I did in just 7 years
ago. Flat rate line, local unlimited calling, no features; $46/month
now. It seems that they are trying to price people out of owning a POTS
line. I'm not sure what my limit is, but we're encroaching it (I pay a
few dollars per month for third-party long distance service).
