[Electronics-Talk] Modern Landline Phone Service

[Leslie Fairall]

Hello:

I moved due to a new job and hooked up all of my utilities. One of the 
things I still prefer is old-fashioned landline service due to its sound 
quality and reliability. I currently have Comcast Internet and phone. The 
problem I have is that I cannot use the jacks installed throughout the 
home. I've been told by Comcast that I need to connect a cordless phone to 
my modem to allow me to have phones in every room. I like cordless phones 
but have a couple corded phones that I would prefer using since they have 
great Speakerphone capability. AT&T will sell me traditional landline 
service but the cost is very steep. Their representative wanted to sell me 
the Voip service, but stated that the phone service worked the same way as 
Comcast. When I had Verizon Fios in New England, I could connect phones to 
every jack in my home. Can anyone shed some light on this? I am scheduled 
to have landline service connected in two weeks but am hoping to find a 
cheaper alternative. Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks.
