I think if given the choice many people would actually do away with the LANDLINE. A lot of people now use mobiles and hardly ever use their landlines. A lot of people are paying line rental on phones they hardly ever, if ever use.

Therefore there would actually be little need to change the infrastructure here in Bournemouth and surrounding areas.

Point-in-fact, I would do away with my phone line (Virgin Media) if I could. I am paying £13.90 line rental for.... nothing actually, but I HAVE to because of the way the packages are put together. It works out "Cheaper" by haveing the phone line..... of course it does.

There are over 700,000 numbers to choose from, are there really that many properties in these areas? I guess it must be pretty close then.

Of course there must be an option for EVERY property to have the option of a landline because most people will move at least once in their lifetimes.

It's going to be an inconvenience but one that people will get used to over time i expect.
