They simply don't route your voice data to the circuit so you can make/receive calls.
What's silly is that for years DSL companies kept trying to make the public believe that naked DSL wasn't possible, that you had to have voice service ($$$) to get DSL. |

It does not refer to DSL without a phone line. It refers to DSL without the mandatory phone service . |

Uh, have you been hiding in a cave for the past three seven years?!?
Current in a copper pair indicates a working circuit port at the telco, not phone service. DSL signaling takes place on a totally separate frequency spectrum from traditional analog phone service, hence the ability of offering line share-based DSL service.
Verizon in NYC does it lazy-style by simply disabling the voice service features instead of provisioning a true data port to the CO. |

actually, it is amazing they don't throw VoIP in yet.
I guess when Verizon loses another million customers
they'll finally start getting competitively creative. |

| They're busy lobbying the FCC to bypass municipal franchise fees for FiOS.
They're also still impervious to the fact that POTS is still dying on the residential end. |

DSL is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line.
