AT&T does not "resell" HSI services to 3rd parties, so that connection is mute, you must be using a line share type service from that independent, like Covad use to do.

ATT does indeed resell DSL... off the top of my head to both DISH and DIRECT TV.

Been a while since I have had resold DSL as they had a tendency to go out of business or over extended themselves.

U-verse runs over copper, the same copper DSL does.

I think you are confusing the issue of not being able to qualify for DSL services once a migration to Uverse internet has taken place, yes that can & does happen. Copper to the home is just pairs, just connects the home to the network, doesn't matter what's running on it.

If engineering for the area has deemed a cap on the ATM dslam at that site, whether on force migration to Uverse or not, then DSL service for that address goes "red" and will not qualify back to DSL should a customer change their mind.

As far as the OPs ?, I don't think there should be an issue because TMK, AT&T does not "resell" HSI services to 3rd parties, so that connection is mute, you must be using a line share type service from that independent, like Covad use to do.

Yes but the two DSL are separate pairs/lines... so yes once killed they may never get the AAT pair back again, but no reason that should affect the separately contracted ISP line though it rides ATT copper... but separate contracts/pairs

I was under the impression that UVerse is fiber to the neighborhood distribution box, then copper to the home. And that once they take your copper pair from the CO to the box, you generally can't get it back.

But you're probably right, I'm certainly no expert.

davidg posted : the other DSL is not critical, it was used for failover years ago and just basically left in place because the 3rd party ISP is also our webhost and takes care of our DNS. I just don't want to screw that up! to clarify though, they do not require we use their DSL to continue the other services.

i don't trust the AT&T phone reps to actually know what would happen, as i have seen here too many times where a 2nd dsl at a residence was cut off when U-verse was installed.

Uverse question

davidg posted : In checking AT&T.com i found our office now qualifies for Uverse. I can get 24 meg for the same price we currently pay for 3 meg DSL.

Here is my issue, i have 2 DSL lines. one thru AT&T and one thru a local ISP. These are on 2 different POTS lines here at the office. Is it possible that AT&T will only cut off my DSL that goes thru them and not the 3rd party DSL? If both must go it is not a major deal, but we use the 3rd party DSL as a failover and i would need to plan it out fully before ordering if it would definitely be cut off.
