| No phone line or cable, can I still get Broadband? I just moved into a new apartment and I do not have any phone or cable service and I want high speed internet. Do I have to get a phone line or cable before I can get high speed internet, or are there any full packages. Im trying to find something at or below 60$ a month(for entire package). Ive checked out speed factory and I dont know if the 50$ a month quote is the price tacked on to whatever phone service fee I would have to pay or what.
Can anyone help me out, thanks.

| Re: No phone line or cable, can I still get Broadband? Hey Mike welcome to BBR. 
If you want DSL, you'll have to get phone service. As far as I know, there are no providers in this area that offer service on a dry pair. That $50 was on top of phone service.
If you go with cable, you'll be able to get internet service only, but the price is a little higher. Looks like Comcast offers internet only for $57.95.

Roswell, GA | Re: No phone line or cable, can I still get Broadband? If you consider the cost of the phone line (and you don't otherwise intend to have a landline) then Comcast is cheaper than BLS DSL- $57.95 all in vs. $17.45 + $49.95= $67.40. | |

Ringgold, GA | I forgot to add, that Comcast price is for 1.5/256 service, but it looks like Comcast is testing a 3 Meg package here right now.

Lawrenceville, GA | You could also use Satellite access, but it is very slow and very expensive. It is around $70 a month for 400kbps download speeds. | |

| Thanks alot for the replies, I think I will try to go with comcast.
I think comcast serves my apartment area so thats good. I probably would have tried to get a phone line + dsl if I had not posted on here, so Im glad I did.
Thanks again, Mike. | |

Unlimited Express Network...$80/mo, bursts up to 144k/sec (ISDN/IDSL speeds) with average throughput not much better than a 56k modem, and VERY high latency (500-600 ms.) IMO, it's not at all suited for fixed connectivity, and VZW doesn't market it as such.
