Re: More than one landline in a house, and ADSL signal?
How can you not be sure that there are two phone lines? Are you paying for two lines? Or are you talking about the physical wiring structure in the house possibly being equipped for two lines? Take a phone around the house and see. You can dial areacode-958-ANAC to find out what the phone number is in each jack.
The grey box is called a demarcation point or demarc for short. It can also be called a NID (network interface device). It marks the point where Bell's responsibility ends and yours begins.
If you sign up for DSL, it will be installed on the line associated with your telephone number. Once the service is activated, make sure all your phones are filtered, plug in the modem, and go. A visit from a tech is not necessary unless there is a problem. |
