Doing away with the landline

I have been thinking whether the use of a landline is coming to an end. I take very few calls on my landline and tend to give people my mobile number for my contact. The big thing, however, is the broadband connection which at the moment keeps me attached to my landline. I do not have a modern mobile phone which has internet access. I do like to sit down with my computer, either laptop or desktop, and use the internet rather than use a modern 4G mobile phone.

If I were to get a modern phone with 4G access and link it to my lap/desktop do you think that I can now get rid of my landline. Opinions seem to vary on this, with reliability of connection particularly being used as an argument against disposing of the landline.

I am not a techy and just use the internet.
