Everybody's dying

[LondonManc]

Could well do, although I heard (and perhaps that article mentions it) that the reason was newly introduced more rigorous ID checking which would have got anonyous phone users into trouble if they didn't ditch their multiple bootleg phone accounts pronto.

Although not sure that explains the landline drop.

From the videos that have been leaked it looks like the CCP have used it as decent cover to round up a few dissidents too.

Who is using landlines now?

Perhaps only 5G nutters

Broadband connections to houses you oddball.

Once Covid-19 vaccines are ready we are going to have to endure tsunami of anti-vaxxers - on a plus side Covid isn’t MMR long term supposed problem, death is pretty swift.

Landline copper used for internet by 3rd world countries like UK - China heavily invested in a fiber to the building heavily -

“ The vast majority of fixed Internet connections in China are fiber-based — typically fiber to the building and then either fiber or copper-based wiring within the building.

As of Q1 2017 there were 310 million fixed-line broadband users with approximately 80% running on optical fiber[1] China has one of the higher rates of fiber penetration in the world (OECD average is 23%[2]), which makes sense because so much of its communications infrastructure, housing stock and commercial real estate has been built in the last decade-and-a-half — the period in which optical fiber technology became commercially feasible to be deployed at the network edge at mass-market scale.

Of course, the typical Chinese user is more likely to access the Internet via their mobile phone and the cellular network. About three quarters of Chinese mobile subscribers (approximately 1 billion) are on 4G/LTE connections, a percentage that compares favorably with North America and Europe[3]. Most Chinese cell towers and stations are already connected to the network via optical fiber-based wireless backhaul infrastructure, providing a robust foundation to accommodate next-generation 5G wireless standards that feature 10 to 20x higher throughput compared to 4G[4].”

What kind of Internet is used in China, fiber, cable, DSL, or something else? - Quora

Landlines FFS, this forum is full of cretins who can’t do basic analysis

People who were stuck at home probably cancelled mobile connection to save money whilst they could still enjoy their high speed home fiber connection.

Is that more likely or China hiding millions of dead over period virus could not have infected that many?

If landlines even gone (and is that even a proven fact?) then far more likely upgrades to far superior fiber (real one, not fiber to cabinet with still copper lines like here)

Ah, so fiber is wireless? Thanks, never knew.

Me. I have 4 of them and I also have 5G. Landline is cheaper for non-EU calls

Fiber is not wireless, obviously.

Fiber is not “landline” as in copper piece of tulip that one can “disconnect”.

If you stuck inside without any money (after 2 months welded in) you might lose some services for non-payment - like mobiles, fiber, that’s far more likely than millions supposedly dead (thus requiring 100 mln infections) over period of time that virus could not achieve in lockdown scenario.

If you think otherwise then you are a cretin of the highest order, with people like you no wonder China is so successful in technology and other areas.
