nztim:for the difference in price between 'basic wireless + landline' @ $55 and Home Fiber Starter + Landline @ $70 the $15 per month more removes so many headaches - As long as the provider chosen delivers the landline over the ONT

It's $45 not $55 - source - which makes it $25 diference, but even $15 can easily be make it or break it on a pension. I'm with @michaelmurfy with relatives on the Spark basic wireless/landline combo and it's absolutely rock solid.
