reply to MTBikerChris One of the stipulations that the FCC put on both SBC and Verizon when they wanted to buy both ATT and MCI was that they had to start selling naked DSL within a certain time frame after the mergers were complete. Since sbc and att merger is complete be looking out for naked dsl in the att areas in the near future
yea... it's really inevitable.. so many switching to cell phone and ip based phone, it almost seems like we got no choice... But then the only thing about the naked dsl is, when your power goes out, you better have a ups system on your PC. I don't but I know if I did...I could still surf but then during those bad storms I turn the pc off along with most other electronics... Dialtone thru an RBOC is so heavily regulated, batteries and generators, it's pretty much a disaster or an equipment problem (you'd be surprised how many you don't even notice)before you loose dialtone...
Well time for bed... later ya'll... gotta be able to get up with the kids... the wife is out for the evening... lucky her, but.. hey, next weekend is mines
