Bring back landlines, latch-key childhoods, wood panel TVs

landlines

My parents are still on a DSL internet connection. AT&T has been hounding them to switch over to their 5G home internet service because they plan to phase out copper phone lines entirely. Cheap bastards aren't planning to put up fiber any time soon, but here's a 5G modem that's slower amd less reliable than DSL.

So stupid.

I can’t help but picture this being the size of a cinder block, like something tied to the gas station bathroom door’s key.
