Reliable home phone service in New Milford, CT that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in New Milford, CT. Community Phone allows you to keep your landline phone without internet or copper wire.
In fact, Community Phone is the only landline phone service in New Milford, CT that does not require internet. Other service providers such as Spectrum, AT&T, and Verizon require an internet connection or a bundle package with cable or internet.
According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 2,593 seniors in Milford don't want their primary phone service tied to their internet, even if they do have internet.
Community Phone works by connecting the landline phones of Milford residents to cell towers. And Milford is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Milford, covering 22 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Milford to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Milford, not just the most populated zip codes like 75068.
Landline phone service usage in Milford is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 19.50% of Milford's 53,195 people are over the age of 65, which means about 6,742 senior citizens in the Small City with a Big Heart still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 2,075 Milford residents completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Milford residents. 11.60% of Milford's 21,553 households do not have the internet at all, which means 2,500 households can't use internet-based landline service.
