Re: Qwest DSL / AOL ISP
I understand your point; and that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. There is a technical answer I am looking for; do I really need the Qwest.net ISP? Can I create a phony ISP and give that to Qwest? Is there an ISP that would be free or cheap with no email, storage, support, etc? Everything works fine now but I am paying for 2 ISPs... |

| No. You cant give qwest a fake ISP. Right now you are using the qwest.net account to access your AOL account. Without the qwest.net account you would only have an a dial up AOL account. You would still be paying qwest for use of the copper wire, but the wire wouldnt "plug into anything" (ie, no internet connection other than the dial up). AOL's DSL service is all inclusive, meaning that you buy both the DSL line (coppper wire) and the ISP service from them. They are the ones who in turn pay qwest for the use of the copper wire. As i stated in a previous post the only way to avoid a service interruption is to install a new phone line and activate AOL dsl on it, then cancel your old DSL line and phone number. |
