Mine (in the US) was filled with noise. (never got over 26k using a 56k modem) I still had to pay per minute for local calls, there is all kinds of crazy fees and extra charges and I barely ever use it. I'm way too far for DSL and forget fiber or anything else wired.

I'm not much of a talker, nor liked to be tied to a device, but when the GF wanted a cell phone, it was a no brainer to add another line for $10 a month and ditch the landline. (Not to mention the landline company is in pretty big trouble http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:FRP )
