Re: Excuse me
said by Rob  :said by Richard B :How can you have DSL with out a phone line? This is what is absolutely silly about Naked DSL. As long as one has current on the copper wires between the central office to home one has phone service. What's so silly about it? 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. said by Rob :said by Richard B :How can you have DSL with out a phone line?

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

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. |

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. |

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. |

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