        Nah. You need lots of single points of failure. After all, you wouldn’t want to rely on just one point of failure for your failure, would you?

        POTS was good for a very important reason, but no one is willing or able to support it anymore

        There is not such thing as true POTS anymore - it’s all packaged and shipped over internet connections now. POTS is just delivery now. And like you that makes me sad.

        No issue with Spectrum in my corner of SoCal, so presumably local.

        We must secure our border routers against invalid "frame packets" whatever those are.
