[GreenKeys] O/T: Are there any telephone switchers in the group?

[E.]

I’m still lucky to have copper to my house (along with rotary dial capabilities and callback)…been told by the telco that they intend on keeping copper ‘cause people in the area are signing up for VoIP, don’t like it and then go back to copper.

Just because it’s an old tech doesn’t mean that it isn’t good!

There is a huge drive to move everything to IP telephony (local and infrastructure) but one thing the COs did have was incredible reliability that the IP networks just cant match, at least the COs in my area.  There is evidence of the Telco's rigorous maintenance routine in the form of maintenance logs at my larger facilities that have the last entries in the early 2000s.
