Hard wired phone (landline) with affordable prices?

I’m looking for a company (other than AT&T) that offers a hard wired phone landline, that is just a straight forward line that has unlimited long distance. I need a phone line for faxing and a landline that is not dependent on cell towers in the event cell towers go down… I have had AT&T for over 20 years and with the exact same functions & the price has gone from @$40 something a month to well over $94+ a month. I have to find a company that is able to accommodate the needs I have at a more affordable and reasonable rate
