| Our Experiences offering Naked DSL We started offering Naked DSL about a month ago. We now
offer three different voice configurations: Naked DSL (We call it "Solo"), GWI Voice/DSL and Verizon Voice/DSL (often called "Lineshare".) Pricing is:
3meg/1meg Service: Naked $39.95, GWI Voice $29.95, Verizon Voice $34.95
5meg/1meg Service: Naked $44.95, GWI Voice $34.95, Verizon Voice $39.95
8meg/1meg Service: Naked $54.95, GWI Voice $44.95, Verizon Voice $49.95
Verizon charges us ~$15 per month for a bare copper phone line and $5 per month if we "LineShare" our DSL with their Voice.
We have not advertised this Naked DSL service. I couldn't even find it on our web page without using the search option.
So far, the demand for the service has been moderately good. The vast majority of our customers seem to want "GWI Voice/DSL", but a reasonable number have chosen "Solo". Considering that we do not advertise the service, and you can only get it by asking, this is a sign of good demand.
If you are wondering why we don't advertise "Solo", the reason is that we are new to the Voice market and are trying to put as much distance as possible between us and VoIP providers. We do not want the public to think we have anything to do with VoIP. Later in the year, I think we will push Solo harder. Again, I believe the demand is there.

USA | Verizon may offer naked DSL where you are but they do not where I am, southern CA. The bundle required to get DSL takes my $30 landline to over $110.00 per month because it includes all the bells whistles, which I don't need and wouldn't use.
Today, my combined Phone, Cable and cable modem is around $120. If I went with Verizon's DSL it would be over $160.
I'd rather have DSL, but not at the costs of the required bundle.
