It seems I'm one of an increasingly small band who still has a landline telephone for personal (rather than business) use. In fact I have two.

Apart from my main job I have another which involves fielding calls from the public. The demographic of the callers is minimum 60+ and I'm noticing that even around 80% of these calls are now coming from mobiles. I also notice that 20-30% of those are very poor call quality to the extent that the call either drops out or is barely decipherable.

So my question is - how many people here have given up their landlines in favour of being exclusively mobile?

Also, there can surely be little argument that mobile call quality even today is still inferior to landline quality - is this a compromise worth accepting to gain the (dubious) benefit of being always reachable?

Note : I'm talking about personal use only - I realise that business use is a completely different matter
