It may be hard to order DSL, whether it is ADSL from the telco, or SDSL, ADSL or IDSL from an ISP, without existing phone service, generally because the phone company may be reluctant to deliver a clean copper loop to a premise that they do not already have "in their systems" as a result of providing prior phone service.
This may vary from region to region depending on the particular local phone company involved.
One provider that does currently (3/07) offer this is AT&T under the name of AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Direct.
Once you GET non-telco DSL on another line, it may be possible to cancel your local phone service.
Cancellation may be harder or impossible if you are getting, or have got, DSL over your same phone line (Telco ADSL or line-sharing CLEC ADSL).
