Explanation:
Em telecom temos o conceito "plain old telephone service - POTS", que se refere ao sistema tradicional de telefonia fixa com cobrança por impulsos, etc.
Parece-me que o autor do seu texto a traduzir tomou este conceito emprestado da área de telecom.

comum


Explanation:
The English idiom does not refer so much to the antiquity of the described object/condition. "Plain-old" is used to say "comum" "nada especial", and in this case is synonymous with "regular"... "normal"
