I have neither.

Did you want to have a poll option for this thread? because that'd seem to be a good way to represent the demos and subsequent responses you might receive.

Addendum:

Land lines serve a vital function in that their reception/reliability is always preferred, and in the case of a power outage/storm/emergency situation, it is still possible to reach the authorities (assuming the phone lines are still intact). But, nowadays, most newer telephones need a power source, so unless you still have a rotary phone lying around, it's sort of a moot point in why a person would still need to be tethered to a land line.
