thankfully, for you, the days of needing a landline for home broadband are rapidly coming to and end. Have you looked at non landline (4g) alternatives?

As long as you don't mind either overpaying, having a slower service (either DL speeds and/or Ping being much lower/higher) and of course subject to a variable mobile mast system.

Even in this day and age, there are still some people who rely on a landline/do not have a mobile phone/cannot receive a reliable mobile signal. There are also many disabled/elderly people who rely on a landline security system. Don't be too much in a hurry to dismiss old technology - it sometimes just works!
