| Looks like it is similarly priced to what I am paying now. I wonder if I switched to the SAFA, which would be coming in on a different pair, if I would be able to get the 6.0?
Currently my line does not qualify for 6.0, but it sure would be nice if I could get it by changing over to SAFA.

I don't see why not. I use VoIP (SIP and IAX) just fine with my Asterisk box. | |

| Re: SAFA (Stand Alone FastAccess) - Confirmed today You can port your home phone number out to another carrier (VOIP/Cell) but you might want to tell the service rep before ya switch over, once the line become a Dry Line there is no active phone service and LNP requires the line be active with no pending orders. | |

You need to switch to Lingo or whatever VOIP carrier you choose BEFORE you disconnect your line with BS er, um, ATT as the line must be live when they do the port - if you disconnect your line before subscribing to Lingo they cannot port the number.
However, if you don't care about your current phone number and want a brand new one, go ahead and sign up for SAFA, disconnect the number and buy in store or call to order your Lingo box.
Enjoy the switch to VOIP... Long time user here and it works flawlessly on DSL (cable, not so much).

When you call to order SAFA, tell them to cancel your voice at the same time. With SAFA, you can't have voice anyway. | |

Lookout, KY | SAFA uses the same requirements as adsl limits. if your line dose not qualify for 6.0 on the regular dsl line chances are it would not qualify on the safa, due to distance limits, co avaibility or such. | |

| Re: SAFA (Stand Alone FastAccess) - Confirmed today Years ago, before the FCC overturned rules state PSC/PUCs passed mandating FastAccess DSL be sold to those with an UNE (CLEC) POTS service, it was possible to get BST DSL & have CLEC POTS service in LA GA and KY. Those customers were grandfathered in. | |

| I was able to order the Bundle97 offer. Ordered it Tuesday and it went into effect today. Still have dial tone on the line but am unable to make or receive calls. It took 3 calls and about an hour and a half of talking before I was able to accomplish it. Very nice find! Been waiting a while for dry DSL.

| I wish they would have done this 2 months ago. Suddenlink finally pissed my off so I drop them and got 6 meg dsl. I have a bask no frills line. And I pay total with taxes $55 so with this deal it would be $51.90 with just basic Texas Sales tax so I would only be saving $3 a month and I would still need to get a VOIP. So I think I will stay stiff for now. But its nice to know I can get it | |

| I just ordered it from ATT last week and Paid 7.50 plus (19.95/mo for a year) then it jumps to $29.00/mo. It has to be better than COMCAST-Houston. This provider(Comcast))has horriable customer service and refuse to admit they have problems. | |
