Re: Taking the step to change internet providers, and need help.
Just kidding about the Charter comments, and I have never been late on a bill in the 2 years I have had them as a provider.
How do I get the FastAccess DSL Direct to operate without dropping Charter?
Will I have to wait until AT&T/Bell South sends me a cd when I sign up online with them, and then use the CD to create a FastAccess DSL account? |

| Thank you attsetech for you reply.
Does anyone know how I would get the FastAccess DSL Direct to operate without dropping Charter first, as it is hooked up to my current modem?
Also, how long does it normally take for AT&T/Bell South dsg dept. to provision the line? |

If you configure the motorola for ip passthrough, you can switch between cable and dsl by changing which modem is connected to the routers wan/internet port.
Is your phone wiring prepared for dsl? |

I know the lady that lived here had a AT&T land line phone only. Would that phone wiring be all needed to get FastAcess DSL DIRECT 3.0? |

Pearl River, LA | My Vonage modem is hooked up to my Belkin Router just like my desk top PC. From my Vonage modem telephone port, I have a telephone line going to the base unit of my uniden. All the other hand units hubs just plug in the wall electical outlets. |

One other thing you should check out is the nid and its wiring and test jacks. |
