Re: and i still dont know why..
said by zipjay  :voip is cheaper.. most cable co's let you choose to not have cable tv with broadband.. so why go with a phone company thats going to force you to have phone through them when u can get cable and voip?? Many telco's are offering DSL without phone these days, it's called "Dry DSL" or "Naked DSL". Bell Canada started offering this sometime ago. There are many users who have DSL only plus VoIP.

Bellsouth does not offer such a service, and they have coverage in 20% of the states...

And even if it's not widespread, this is the way the market is going, so while you are not entirely incorrect, you're not exactly up to speed either. |

| Qwest does - cheapest route was with Qwest,net ISP and naked dsl line(no MSN) - and I hope they are in my neighborhood soon. I am stuck with cable right now, but would prefer DSL. Viva Upload  |

Yeah, but they charge almost as much for just DSL as they would for DSL _and_ a basic phone line. Not really naked. |

Yup. Just like cable charges almost as much for 'naked' cable modem service as they do for cable modem service 'clothed' in basic cable.
Where is your point?
