For me personally (although I dont have a cellphone either) SBC requires
you to have plain telephone service in order to provide DSL service, and
it's been working well so I dont want to switch to cable. Some other
reasons I've seen: home security systems that use a modem, and the fact
that cellphones are not reliable in an emergency.
