| Do I need a land line for DSL service? |
|
I am trying to order cable and I was hoping to get DSL and get rid of my home phone, but can I do that? Do they need that line?
You guys know everything. :-)

| 1. DSL uses the same wire as your telephone |

If you do get DSL, you can still probably cancel your landline and just keep the DSL.

| 2. Yes. DSL is provided on a land line. |
|
If you get cable you can get Voice Over IP, a la Vonage, and dump the land line.

| 6. Qwest offered, at my request, DSL sans landline. |
|
The savings ultimately wasn't substantial and you never know when you might want a landline for emergency needs.
