Let put even red diaper doper baby can understand. The Telcos sill have to activate the phone line even if one just orders naked DSL. From that on its just adding and other service to an already active phone line. I know, When I move across the hall Verizon deactivated pots and transferred it to my new apartment but could access DSL in my old apartment. I still can get a dial tone on my phone line in my old apartment but I could not make outgoing calls except for a message wanting to know if I want to activate POTS service. For the few day I had both apartments I just strung a Ethernet cable across the hall. I eventually dropped Verizon for Comcast when I found Verizon jerking me around by telling me they could had moved my DSL the same day they moved POTS. Instead they told me I had to wait another 21 days. I told them screw you I am going comcast.
