Once this is done, give a call into tech support and ask them to do a repoint for you. They can then move your old username over to your new account for you. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21545508 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 04:47:07 EDT Re: Move DSL to different phone number in same house http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21534734 Poincare : Thanks for all the info.
I decided to keep line 1 and move everything over. DSL won’t get moved until next week.
I'm hoping DSL doesn't get messed up.
I’ll post back with the results when it’s over.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21534734 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 19:14:45 EDT Re: Move DSL to different phone number in same house http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21511063 tschmidt :

Two rooms have line 1 and line 2, but only one cable, with red & green wires for line 1 and black & yellow wires for line 2.
Correct - your have what is called Quad-four cable. It consists of four conductors, but they are not twisted into pairs.

Green/Red is Line 1
Black/Yellow Line 2

New construction uses twisted pair cable like that used for Ethernet to improve transmission when multiple phone lines or DSL is used.

All you need to do is disconnect all four wires and swap them. That way jacks that used to be on line 1 are now on line 2 and vice versa.

If you are feeling adventurous you might want to think about installing a while house POTS/DSL splitter near the NID. Splitter does a better job of isolating DSL from voice and eliminates need to have a filter on each non-DSL device. This is especially important if you have a lot of voice devices or your DSL circuit is long.

In that case all you need to do is disconnect inside wiring from "old" line and reconnect it to "new" line.

If you have a modern NID, network Interface device, all phone lines terminate there making change easy.

Yes. there's a NID. Not sure I'd be able to figure out how to change the wiring in it.

All rooms have Line 1. Back rooms have line 1 only.
Currently DSL is on Line 2.
I'm sure this isn't the correct technical description, but -
Two rooms have line 1 and line 2, but only one cable, with red & green wires for line 1 and black & yellow wires for line 2.

I thought it would be easier to move the DSL to line 1, rather than try to rewire anything. But that's also taking a chance that it won't get screwed up or have connection problems once DSL is on Line 1.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510696 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:53:34 EDT Re: Move DSL to different phone number in same house http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510596 Bobcat : Maybe keep the line with DSL and transfer the phone number from the other line?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510596 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:33:44 EDT Re: Move DSL to different phone number in same house http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510516 tschmidt :

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, new email addresses would be an issue, plus early cancellation charges. I only want one phone number, so Selective Ring isn’t an option either.

I guess I just have to decide if it’s worth taking a chance moving the DSL.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21510463 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:08:53 EDT Re: Move DSL to different phone number in same house http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21509866 tschmidt : If interruption of service is a critical consideration why not get DSL on the other line then cancel old DSL. That way there is no break in service. Since this is a new account will also get a new email address - that may or may not be an issue. If the existing line is under contract there may be a cancellation charge.

Something else that may be of interest is to merge at least two of the lines and get Selective ring. That way you don't need to move DSL to another physical line.

We are in a somewhat similar situation with two phone lines. Have though about canceling one but the physical circuit DSL is currently on is better then the other line. We are slightly out of distance for 3000/768 service. Since it has been stable I'm reluctant to make any changes.

The number we want to keep doesn’t have the DSL, so this would mean moving DSL from one number to another number. Verizon says it’s no problem, but I’m concerned that moving the DSL isn’t as simple or easy as they say it is.

I’m thinking that moving DSL would mean potential connection or stability problems.
We can’t afford to lose our internet connection or have connection problems, etc.

I’m guessing that moving DSL to a different number is just something we have to take a chance on.
Does anyone have any experience with this or comments?

Thanks !]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21509728 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:02:27 EDT
