Re: Additionally
There's splitterless DSL today that uses filters.
There should be no need for a truck roll to install a DSL splitter.
When I had DSL a few years ago, Verizon gave me a self install kit that had the modem, power adapter, phone cord, a CD and a few filters. No tech had to come and install anything. |

Self-install counts on good instructions and the back-end technology that works. Verizon had neither.

some companies in Ohio do not provide this. It's called a truck roll no matter what and still wait for everything. |

That was pretty much the norm awhile back but (at least here in AT&T territory) self-install is very much plug and play now.

Verizon's got a great network but terrible back-office and support systems. |

And i forgot our cable company does the same thing. But when they do it they actually run a new HSI line from the tap to the house (at least they were going to do that for me), replaced the grounding block and a few other things. So couldn't complain about the install charge which is $20.00 |
