centurylink has the worst customer service

POTS (plain old telephone service) drives me nuts from the heavy increase in spam/canned/scam calls. All of Ginsues points would be tops if it wasn't for getting 8-15+ trash calls a day on average when having one (in my limited experience) I know my parents won't answer theirs unless you start to leave a message, which drives the call volume down, but the POTS at work - obligated to answer - is just incomparably overloaded with trash calls that I want to break it into tiny pieces.

I get more of that crap on my cell than I do on my VoIP home phone. At least my VoIP phone lets me target those robo-dialers with a *disconnected* message so my number gets pulled from their database.

We haven't had a landline, (twisted pair, anyone remember that description?) in quite some time. That said, I get at least 95% BS calls with spoofed area codes on my cellphone. It it was 99%, I would not be surprised. The opt out scam didn't do anything.

We've eschewed any form of cell phone up until December of last year ... now we have two of the infernal devices and no land line (had to go with the cable company for internet anyway so $40/mo for a VOIP land line seemed silly since we can get a smart phone from Walmart for $35/mo).

...$40/mo for a VOIP land line seemed silly...

Clarification. The VoIP costs $40 a month, or the internet access, which you'd run VoIP over, costs $40 a month?

The addition of a VOIP phone line was an additional $40/mo (actually the phone line was cheaper than that, but we'd have to go with a higher/faster tier of service so it would have worked out to $40/mo more to add a phone).

Cox cable is like Comcast only less competent, but also less evil.

$40/month for VoIP is insane.

That's why I asked the question...
