hey anyone know a reliable analogue telephone supplier in MS?
if you have an internet connection, you can get an ooma to provide pots and voip services. It can call most numbers, and when you set it up they allocate you a phone number in the prefix of your choice.
Frontier will install an old copper POTS line if you press them, but they will try and put you on a fiber line with full POTS functionality first. I am assuming by “reliable analog POTS” you mean copper… I was told a few months ago that the entire country would be decommissioning the whole copper POTS network within the next few years though, so your time with such a service wont be very long. The digital POTS versions that everyone does now are supposed to be on battery backed systems with 24 hour standby time or longer. Id also suspect that a lot of that infrastructure converts over to the newer digital systems at various points along the network as well, so in the event of an extreme emergency I am not sure how truly reliable the old copper “always on” phone network would be over the standard digital POTS
Plenty of other companies like ATT, Comcast, Spectrum, etc will also do POTS service over fiber and it does provide full functionality and is alarm line capable. I dont know if any of them specifically will do copper lines still.
yes I want copper, I want copper line so badly I’d buy the backbone equipment to put it up on the network myself if I could afford and understand it.
Not after my auger got the phone line that was 3 inches in the soil…
One has to ask… why?
Any pots you order today will be on a digital backbone not far up the network.

because dial up, that’s why.
is this to service some old modem only equipment or something?
if so you could roll your own with a cisco cube router and an FXS port
no it’s cause I LIKE dial up. And want it on my 286.
“Everyone” is deprecating it as said before…

no idea what you’re on about diizzy.
What he is saying is you can probably forget about it. Just like all your other threads about how you want the past back…

Like I said if you desperately want dial up you can roll your own.
Not sure why you’d want that though unless it was to support a modem only device.
Telcos here in Australia for example don’t even support/supply E1 (equiv of T1) here any more and haven’t for about 5 years now.
If you want the browsing experience you can clamp bandwidth and latency to whatever bit-rate/delay you want with an upstream pfsense/opnsense/whatever box.
