Last week we took a BSNL connection. Though its purpose was solely for net I feel nice whenever phone rings....a nostalgic feeling. It may be because I am hearing its ring after 6 years. What about you? Whole world is now disconnecting land phone connection and completely depending on mobile phones. I now remember Preethi Zinta's ad of MTNL where she rejects a boy saying a home without landphone is a place without identity :cheer:

I will call this discussion a matter of coincidence. I was just thinking of getting a landline connection only for the net connection purpose as you have done it. My two brother-in-laws also have landline phones that they use for only internet connection. So I don't think you are going against the tide.


I would suggest not to use internet from landline phone because if it goes out particularly in case of BSNL it goes for long. Better to take a broadband connection from private service provider because that is cheaper and have no headache of wired lines. besides service is also easy to get.

Using land line for internet is a forgotten practice. Yes, having high speed broadband is very much in vogue even in remotest parts.

There are many private service providers who do it through a small router on top of your house that enables you get broadband service at a good speed and comparatively cheaper and trouble free compared to wired lines. i am Using Tikona for long time.

I can't even just think about loosing a landline connection. We have a strong boding with landline even though we are not using it.

I took this plan because we get 400 free calls every month. So I can save my mobile bill :cheer: :cheer:
But it's not available in WMax. Cost is same..around 900rs per month

Actually it is a good plan from BSNL. For 900rs per moth, Both internet and 400 calls sound good. Please let me know the speed of the net?

earlier i was using Wmax...wireless BSNL...512 KB...but I used to see online full length movies without lagging.

Probably you do not get good service where you stay from BSNL. I have an internet Broadband connection from BSNL which I am using for more than 3 years now and have never had a problem even once. Only in one instance did the line go out for more than 5 hours and that was it! The speed is also very good and the service we get from them is excellent!

I think "Old is Gold"
We still have land line connection and our Internet is also through it. Though both are having advantages and disadvantages I think land line don't have signal problem or health hazards.

I don't mind a land line phone but it has lost it's utility for me. Because I am not at home to attend it most of the time.

Now a days people are using landline for connecting Internet. Thats it. The mobile phones have beat the landline utility

If you want broadband connection then you have to keep a land line phone. Otherwise mobile is ok.

Yes, you are right. Land phone connection is also use as identity proof. But in my home there is no usage. All the members have own personal mobiles.
