Re: More than one landline in a house, and ADSL signal?
You'd tell them that you have a second pair that you wanted dry DSL on. They'd find it. |

It's that easy? Wow I thought it'd be more complicated.
So no technician has to visit the house for that dry dsl through the second line, am I right?
I'm asking this 'cause I tried to sign up for the dry dsl before, and a Bell technician came all the way to the house and said if I wanted the dsl signal to reach the outlets inside the house, I'd have to pay extra for it (I don't remember the exact amount but it was ridiculously expensive). And if I didn't want to pay for it, he told me to connect to the internet right at the demarc using a wireless router or whatever. So I told him to beat it, thinking he was ripping me off.
Now I guess he WAS trying to rip me off. |

If it has been a while since the other line was active, Bell would likely send a tech to make sure it was working up to the demarcation point (as they have no way of knowing without being there to check it).

If you want a dry DSL service in addition to your voice line (with or without DSL), Bell will activate it up to the connection up to the demarcation point. After that, you have options as to how it gets into the house (and where in the house it works). You can do the work yourself, since it is your wiring, or you can pay the Bell technician or someone else to do the work for you.
