Surge protection degrades over time, just so you're aware. Your devices may be receiving power from your strip, but the total level of protection is likely below the rated Joules now due to power fluctuations and mini-surges that it has suppressed over the years.
Version without network/coax is a few dollars more if you want USB ports instead. Probably not a hot deal but who the hell still plugs their landline phones into a surge protector.

Probably the real question should be who the hell still owns a landline lol. But I can see this being useful for that purpose.
I had a PS4 Pro that had all of its USB ports fail and wonky Ethernet issues after a bad storm from (most-likely) an unprotected coax connection to my modem (which was connected to a router via Ethernet, to router to PS4 Pro via Ethernet). I had all 3 things connected to a UPS at the time, but unfortunately didn't passthrough the Ethernet surge protection port like an idiot. The failed USB ports meant no more backups or ability to transfer to a working PS4 Pro, which sucked, and Sony couldn't fix without wiping (which I declined). I don't have a network setup that simple anymore these days, but because of that experience, I don't ever leave things going from the wall unprotected!
At this price, you might as well get a 50 dollar UPS, unless you need it to be compact. Better protection, no outages during short term blackouts, and it'll actually tell you when the components go bad.

For areas without fiber and using DSL, you likely have a rj11 plug from the DSL in to the modem and you might want protection there. I know our phone company's DSL is through rj11 plugs. But yeah, landline... maybe a business is my only guess

oof at this price i assumed it was a ups, the way people were saying "still working!!!".
no thanks. I guess it works if you have a lot of stuff to plug in. I'll stick with my more compact GEs. no they're not the best specs but they're on par with and better than this deal, quarter of the price, and I'm not trying to run my house off of a 15 amp circuit.
you'd be sooner better off installing a quality whole house protector and a proper ground.
surge protectors, or better yet back up batteries are important and needed in some areas, electricity is dirtier, more prone to lightning strikes, or your utility makes a VERY harsh switch at specific times to account for smaller loads and larger loads. Duquesne in pa was notorious for that shit and it happened daily morning and night. it's calmed down some last I heard. a lot of people don't "need" protection. but consider all the appliances you aren't protecting that have been fine. each device will handle different scenarios differently. 120v isn't always 120v.

Who owns a landline? Many people who don't want to spend $800 on a smartphone every 2-3 years -- a smartphone that is purpose-designed to be intrusive and spy on you....then you'll have to spend $100/month for a mobile phone plan that only works in SOME areas where they have coverage.
A landline is $25/month or less, for unlimited use and long-distance included. You can use it with any phone handset you want, most are sub-$100 for multiple 2.4ghz sets. And those last for a decade+. And the best part is the phone isn't at risk of being hijacked by malware, viruses, etc....nor does it spy on you.
There's an elegance in simplicity and straightforwardness. And it's way, way cheaper.
Is surge protection really that important in most places with modern tech devices or is it more of a marketing thing, and even if it is, do devices like this really protect against them? And either way does this have a circuit breaker or more of a one-shot fuse-like device that once the max voltage or current is exceeded, it shuts down and you have to replace the whole unit? Do any such power strips come with actual circuit breakers, and if so do they tend to be thermal or magnetic? I mean for situations where the strip's capacity is exceeded by plugging too many devices into it, but not that of the circuit that it's on, e.g. 15A vs. 20A.
As far as I understand, surge protection heavily depends on your location and the way wiring is done.
Fewer thunderstorms in the north, don't even bother about it along Pacific coast, worse in FL and gulf areas.
In-air wiring is way worse than underground.
And surge protector is not overload protection, it helps with residual effects of nearby lightning strike. Well, direct hit 8nto wires would still fry everything, but surge protector may help if lightning hits nearby.

I got a reasonable smartphone for $100 on BF. Should I go and pay $700 extra?
Oh, and Verizon basically don't maintain residential lines any more over here. Great if it works, but once it doesn't....

As much as I'd love to say "ok Boomer" and leave it at that, I'll simply preface that it was a jest. Of course landlines are still in use. Your landline isn't exactly portable now, is it? I won't bother entertaining the rest of your Luddite-esque comments, however and the fact that MVNOs exist, driving the average subscription prices hilariously lower than your $100 month claims.
The jitterbug is available for your ilk and perfectly safe! I promise!
Had two similar more expensive APC units die and they did not honor the lifetime warranty for an equivalent replacement. After multiple attempts to contact customer service, i couldn't get them to even send one response besides an auto-response that my inquiry had been received. I gave up and will never buy another APC product again. Consider yourself warned.

"Your landline isn't exactly portable now, is it?"
Why would I need a portable phone? If I absolutely need something mobile, there are plenty of $10 flip phones out there with a pre-paid, per-minute plan. But I have no need for such things -- reception is spotty at best where I frequent, and my home has zero reception from any of the three major carriers. I've survived plenty of years without a cell phone, so why start now?
And going with one of those wireless resellers -- they're great, until you realize you're a second tier customer on the big three's networks. And like I said, where I'm at, I barely get them (if at all). So why waste the money?
Plus you see so many people glued to their mobiles when out -- driving while staring at their glowing pants. I mean, if my pants were glowing too, I'd probably be staring....
