| Re: Verizon DRY LOOP my guess would be maybe some wiring from the NID to your apartment, as far as your package I don't know how well VOIP will perform at those speeds but I guess you will find out soon.
From what I understand, in Vonage's site:
Vonage requires a minimum of 30kbps at its slowest settings both upload and download. It is recommended that you have 90 Kbps to achieve peak quality of service.
I normally just check my mail and browse the web and won't do heavy downloading. So, I hope the 768/128 speed will suffice. | |

| Re: Verizon DRY LOOP I managed to reschedule an appointment for them to come do the wiring. Looks like they'll hopefully be here on 01/23 and my service should be ready by 01/25. BTW, how long does it normally take to receive the DSL equipment?(Keep in mind I placed my order on 01/10) TIA:) | |

I think you live in Brooklyn, NY. The MCO is full
and they won't have an available circut possibly for
another 3 weeks, they will delay your SRD I am fairly
sure until then.
Not 110% sure, just an educatated guess.

Correct. I live in Brooklyn. I called yesterday morning to have a technician come over to do the wiring since I missed them last Friday.:(
They told me no technicians available until Monday morning, so I took that. Since I ordered dry loop DSL, I'm not sure exactly if the availability of circuits will affect me. Hopefully not. | |

You're right. The technician came over yesterday evening and finished the wiring in my apt. I called this morning to ask why I never received my modem and installation kit. I spoke with someone from Verizon local and they confirmed that CO is full and weren't taking any order and possibly in February, there'll be available circuits. Any way to expedite this?:( | |

| Re: Verizon DRY LOOP I would like to order "dry loop dsl" via Verizon for my new apartment in Washington DC. After reading these forums, I am unclear whether I can actually call Verizon and order "Dry Loop DSL" or whether I need to go through the charade of:
--Ordering POTS + DSL.
--Switch to CC bill.
--Port POTS to Vonage.
--Wait for number to transfer.
--Cancel Vonage.
And then end up with dry loop DSL via Verizon. Option #1: placing an order for what I really want is infinitely better. But if not possible, then option #2 is what I will do.
But beofore embarking on this jounrey, I wanted to reconfirm that the humans at Verizon are now taking orders for "Dry Loop DSL."
Thanks. | |

1 edit | Re: Verizon DRY LOOP Doesn't matter if it is dry loop or not. If the co is closed due to a capacity shortage, there is no room to add new customers regardless of whether or not the actual line qualifies for service. It is all the same CO. | |
