OT: Anybody know if you can get Verizon DSL without a phone line?


Saw a May press release:

http://news.com.com/Verizon+to+offer...L/2100-1034_3-
5221095.html?tag=nefd.top

Of course, a call to them today results in 'no way...must be another
company that said that' Bull****...I'm not paying for a land line just to
get DSL.

The line has to be wired in the house, but not working for voice. It's an
outgrowth to keeping your home number and transferring it to your cell.

Having Verizon DSL on my other account it is called Naked DSL. it is
available presently to business customers like myself. However its
kind of a stupid offer to business since I need the voice and fax
features and had them first on my business lines.
DSL came after. But I have heard via the 0.verizon newsgroup that it
does not work at present where they are offering it, or it does not
work as it should. However the offshoot of government regulations is
that the telco's will have to provide this breaking up of high speed
access from any telephone line since the bells are losing customers at
a very alarming rate. (800,000 alone in the last quarter in New York)

Now with the Voip services cropping up and the cable companies now
offer telephone service the advent of the home phone is about to be
declined to very low levels. The bells will have to offer separate
wanted services over the bundled services they now offer.

You can't. But this means that it doesn't have to be a Verizon
landline, or that it is DSL only, with no voice data.

I think SBC is already offering naked DSL to consumers in some
California markets.

Not currently in Delaware. In fact, Verizon could not even tell me if I
could get DSL in a new office until I had working Verizon local phone
service a corresponding phone number. Which is ridiculous, given that it
was a new office and I was considering a VOIP solution for phones. Dumb.
