It's still a landline, and not many are fiber the large majority are still copper wire from the cabinet to the house.
Anyone installed 9.5.8 yet.
Just saying, the comment was along the lines in 10 years you wont need a land line, already we mainly just use broadband... I'm saying, we don't need landlines now, just broadband... Land line used to refer to your phone line. Broadband comes in on something else (and most times now your phone line comes through that too now I think). I think 25 years ago was when you would get your internet cut off because someone tried to make a phone call 
Anyway, heading way off topic

I don't regret it but, it's not perfect. I still think the camera is a bit rubbish but I think most phone cameras are when I'm used to a proper camera.
The 90hz I can't notice even if I try looks the same as 60hz to me.
The curve screen is a big downside I won't have another no matter what but I'm not sending this phone back.
The fingerprint sensor is verging on useless for me.

Plenty of people still use BT, Plusnet and sky fibre. That all comes through the ancient telephone landline at upto 80meg.
Virgin are a nightmare so I stay away. Ideal scenario would be fttp, but that usually reserved for new builds.

Nope, I researched it well, so knew exactly what I was getting. Exactly the phone I wanted.
Do feel it could have been a little cheaper though.
Yeah, the same price as a Samsung or Apple flagship a couple of years ago.

About £20 more than I paid for the s8 it's replaced just over two years ago.

I've had the phone for 2 days now and love it. I've not put a case on it as the phone just looks so lovely without.
Putting a case on it feels like putting vinyl seat covers on a gorgeous leather sofa.
I've got a £50 excess on my house contents accidental damage so I'm going to rely on that to protect the phone.
I would like the back to be less slippy - almost wish dbrand did a clear textured skin.
