ADSL/ADSL2+ Speeds VS DistanceThe DSL signal is not going through your phone line now. A telephone technician has to activate and test the line. This usually can be done without entering the inside of a home if the NID(Network Interface Device) is accessible on the outside of the home and there is no problem getting to it.
For DSL you will need a modem or gateway to connect your computer to the internet. A modem is just a modem. A gateway has a router included in the equipment. AT&T has the standard Motorola DSL Modem Model 3360 »
