3/31 Anyone have DSL without telephone service? What provider will
do this? I am trying to get away from cable. --jwm
\_ I am not aware of any provider that will do this. You might
be able to set up a phone line, get DSL installed, then cancel
the phone line, but that's a dicey bet at best.
\_ Share with a neighbor. Ask the ones you know, offer to handle
all the tech, and then split the DSL costs month to month.
Make sure you don't go with a skinflint ISP that checks for
this type of thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than
I can elaborate on the "how" of this.
\_ Yeah it's really hard. It takes some extra cables and a $50
router+switch unit from best buy. Can I get paid 6 figures for
doing your networking?
\_ I have a covad line like this where my employer acts as the
ISP. covad couldn't care less if you have a phone, but
you need an ISP to contract with covad for the line... |
