97% of my landline phone calls are noted as “SPAM”

Wonderful, but how does my Xfinity landline know this?

Okay, but how do they know they are spam?

No, they come from people selling things or wanting money. Curious, I have answered a few.

Hmmmmm…Hard to understand. They make enormous profits on their wildly over priced services, so why get into a scam?

Okay, but I don’t get it. I pay for TV and Internet [too much, BTW] , and landline is just a small included aspect. If they did not offer the landline, I would not switch anyway.

Xfinity is all about profits, and I don’t see a profit motive in a phone cam. But then, I’m usually an optimist.

How many people actually pay Commie Cast for a so-called land line? It’s gotta be VoIP, provisioned on top of internet service, using their supplied adaptor that you pay for. And of course costing $$$ more than if you went and got your own analog telephone adaptor and plugged it in. That’s what I do. Paying xfinity for more than the basic connection is just not happening here.
