[OT}Digital Phone vs. Analog phone

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

My wife wants to get caller id with name/address, which is not currently 
available in our area through Verizon. One reason I have stayed with 
Verizon is that if our cable goes out (very rare) we can use the phone line.

My questions on ATTBI Digital Phone service in comparison to Verizon:
1. Cost. How does the cost compare. Is digital less expensive, more 
expensive or pretty much the same as Verizon.

2. Reliability. We rarely have problems with our local phone service. 

3. Quality of service. My Verizon line always has a bit of noise on it. 
While I am not 100% certain the problem is on their side, in the past, I 
have disconnected the house and tapped directly into the outside jack so 
they could not point a finger.
