| why?
Where in America CAN you call up the telephone company and get ONLY DSL for a reasonable price?
I can call Cox and get pretty much any of their packages with no TV or phone required - ~$60/month for about 7/512 here.
If I could call up ATT right now and get just DSL at 3/512, for ~$20-30/month, I'd consider it...
Guess none of them realize the potential customers they could get... ESPECIALLY in a college town where most students (and a growing number of adults) have ONLY cellular phones.
Oh well. Guess that (and faster speeds + more coverage) is why most people I know have cable internet around here... |

In NYC you don't even have to call. Verizon lets you sign up for dry-loop DSL right on their website.
Of course, this assumes that your order makes it past pre-qualification for distance and service area.
Dry-loop runs you $20 for 768/128 and $35 for 3/768 service. |

It's a little weird... I think if you're not using a phone a small fee to the telco is all that should be needed (e.g. $5/month) or even transparent to you and have Embarq cover the cost to the telco as part of your service. This is a scary way to retain customers because it makes people pretty happy with service wonder why they shouldn't gripe. |

Re: 3 in 1 deals
I'm with you... Verizon FIOS Triple Play package now requires a 2 year commitment. $175 charge if you drop it after the 30 day acceptance period... |
