My family and I need our copper landlines in New York State, and Verizon is threatening to cut us off from our lifeline: our copper landlines. My elderly loved ones need their copper landlines because it is their only contact with the outside world since they are not able to use other technology. I suffer from electromagnetic sensitivity, so I have a landline to reduce my exposure to wireless radiation. We all need the copper landlines for safety during power outages. Preserve the copper landlines and place people's needs above Verizon's profits.
