Why cell phones are better

Sure, cell phones are kind of expensive, they force you to sign prohibitively long contracts with exorbitant cancellation fees, and the phones themselves may cause some sort of brain tumor, but all in all they are better than digital home phones by my estimation. We are now free of Verizon Fios with their god-awful service which included inconsistent internet connections, cable that seemed inclined to work inversely to our desire to watch something, and phone service akin to using a walkie-talkie in a cavern. After much fighting back and forth, buying a new phone, and doing everything short of prayer circles to make it work, we moved on to Comcast. Our service has been stellar............um, for about two weeks anyway. Now we have internet and cable, but they can't seem to get our phone to work. We were advised, again, to purchase another phone because they are certain that it is our equipment that isn't working. Of course, the phone works fine (even has 6.0 DECT technology.........which means about as much to me as the 'techroline' that comes in Shell gas). People can call us (though it is not a good connection), but we can't make outgoing calls as all of them go straight to Comcast (though never to a real person). Suffice to say, at this point a cell phone and a brain tumor seems preferrable.
