Do people still use landlines at home in 2023?

Whatever provider I have used BT based services or VM, I have never had anything as reliable as my mobile phone, covered by multiple masts so redundancy, always worked in power cuts as well, plus works when I leave home.

But ignoring all this when landlines providers lost it and started silly things like connection fee's I would have thought they killed off their own services from the sheer cost of using it?

VOIP which is the replacement, I would like to think brings costs closer to using a mobile phone? So no more connection fees, line rental etc?
