If you've dropped your landline at home in favour of your cellphone, you're certainly not alone.
The CRTC says the number of residential phone subscribers decreased by 2.1% to 11.9 million in 2012.
It says Canadians have dropped more than a million telephone lines in the last five years, while wireless subscriptions rose by 5.8 million in the same period.
The numbers are from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's annual communications monitoring report, which provides a snapshot of communications in Canada.
Among other things, it says a third of Canadians watch Internet television and 20% stream radio over the Internet.
In 2012, the number of Canadian wireless subscribers grew by 1.8 per cent to 27.9 million, with an average of two wireless subscriptions per household.
