fixed line

Stationary phone connection

Fixed line refers to telecommunications that use physical cables rather than wireless signals.

A fixed line telephone connects through wires to a network, as opposed to a mobile phone: We cancelled our fixed line and use our cells for everything now.

Fixed line internet similarly travels through cables rather than cellular or satellite connections.
