why?

Where in America CAN you call up the telephone company and get ONLY DSL for a reasonable price?

I can call Cox and get pretty much any of their packages with no TV or phone required - ~$60/month for about 7/512 here.

If I could call up ATT right now and get just DSL at 3/512, for ~$20-30/month, I'd consider it...

Guess none of them realize the potential customers they could get... ESPECIALLY in a college town where most students (and a growing number of adults) have ONLY cellular phones.

Oh well. Guess that (and faster speeds + more coverage) is why most people I know have cable internet around here...

In NYC you don't even have to call. Verizon lets you sign up for dry-loop DSL right on their website.

Of course, this assumes that your order makes it past pre-qualification for distance and service area.

Dry-loop runs you $20 for 768/128 and $35 for 3/768 service.
