Re: Need answer to 2 questions.
The AT&T customer service rep told me that I could not get DSL without their land line telephone. |

I don't have the number right now that will get you to the right people. You could call tech support and asked to be transferred to consumer large team sales. |

| kremithefrog,
First, thanks for your replies.
I kind of thought myself they were lying to me, but when I said never mind I am not taking it if I had to have phone service, I thought they would then say I could get it then. I guess the guy felt the internet sale only commission was not worth his trouble. LOL
Apparently their online specials in the link in my first post is for AT&T customers only. Because when I did a online chat with this girl in there, the page to order the internet only, had me getting the DSL Xtreme3.0 for $42.95 not the $37.95 on the link page above. It also did not give me a free modem. She said the modem would cost $75.00. 
Would it be better (cheaper) to buy my own modem myself?
P.S. BTW kremithefrog, I noticed in your profile it has you sending $47 with them, is because all you have with them is DSL Xtream 6.0 ?
6.0 is not offered in my area, the highest is the 3.0.  |

| Yes I have 6.0 and Direct DSL cost $5 more per month than the similar speed plan with voice.
It would definitely be cheaper to buy your own. I've seen modems for as cheap as $7 at a flea market. Even for a nice netopia 3347 modem/router on ebay it'd be well under $75. |

And yes I don't know why the phone reps say that. But you're not the first person that I hear that experiance from.
I will tell you that ordering online, while mildly confusing, will get you what you want rather quickly with no added sales pitch.
