VoIP. Is Phone by Wire Nearly Dead?

Zoomup
Hard wired phone lines. Just how long will we have them? And just how many metres of cable are there on those big pictured cable drums?

    This thread has just made me look up BT Cloud Phone - which BT tried very hard to push on us a couple of months ago (because my wife is self employed from home we have a BT business line / fibre to our house). Here's an odd thing - as far as I can see all their VOIP phones are wired ethernet. What??? You don't hard wire things these days - that's why we have WiFi! 


    Does anyone know (for technical interest) what other providers are doing?


    I don't know whether we would ever go to it. Our landline is for a) our mothers, b) my wife's business calls for which a dual SIM mobile would probably actually be better, c) those friends and family who we don't contact often enough to get around to giving them any other number. Everyone else uses our mobiles or web messaging.


    Cheers,
