Re: The end? Far from it.... said by Mellow:
The Dsl provider would just run a dry pair to you from the CO. Its that easy, should have been done this way the whole time.
You're saying that the DSL provider (in my case, Earthlink) could get DSL to my door without my having to buy the local phone service? Does the article in question here mention that as a possibility? My understanding from PSC rulings in Georgia was that BellSouth was required to give you DSL even if you chose, say, AT&T for local phone service.
Getting DSL WITHOUT the phone company requiring local phone service (or a local phone service activation from ANY provider) would be great.

| Rumor has it that Bellsouth will be doing dry pairs in May AND letting the other DSL providers do the same. Not sure how reliable my info is, I'm just repeating something I was told. However, I can't find any info about this on the PSC website or on Bellsouth's. I asked about this in the Atlanta forum and no one else seems to know anything either.

Yes. Cavalier ran a dry pair using my 2nd pair for my dsl to me. 1 pair carries my voice and 1 pair carries my data. Its that simple. NO extra charges on the dsl line, just the 25/month I signed up for. Its only not done because of GREED. |
