Personally, I think that unless someone has something special to carry on
top of the copper, then it's that time in life they drop the "landline".
There is nothing special about them.
It's also pretty easy these days for an organization to "change their
contact phone numbers"  - by a simple change of "Our Contacts" on the
website, or a mailshot to their suppliers/clients.

Sorry I did not answer your question directly, but TKL/Orange has been
working on redoing their cabling in many areas. Perhaps this is what is
affecting you. I understand how difficult it is to do business with Orange
when it comes to fixing problems. Their Customer Care still sux, and the
bureaucracy is still very much embedded. I resorted to walking to the
Exchange and seeking out the technicians in order to have my problems with
landlines addressed. Maybe you should do just that!
