Dry Loop DSL – Naked DSL

Since most people are now turning to Cell phones to replace their home lines a lot of phone companies who sell DSL are suffering. I know most of my friends now use Cable for their Internet connections as they don’t want to have to pay for a phone line they never use. The telephone companies are responding with Naked DSL or Dry Loop DSL as it is also known. Dry Loop DSL is basically DSL without the phone line. You get a phone line into your house and you can access DSL through the line, but you can’t make any phone calls. This is great if all you want is Internet connectivity and you don’t really need to utilize the telephone portion of a DSL line. We killed off our DSL a few years back, but I’ve been considering it again with the absence of the phone bill part of a DSL line and Naked DSL may be the answer.
I’m not unsatisfied with my cable connection at all, but I like to keep switching up so I can save money and get the switch to deals. Right now AT&T is offering some great deals on Dry Loop DSL. Perhaps I will take a look at changing again. I just hate to do without my Internet Connectivity for any length of time. Perhaps I can get a Naked DSL connection during the same day as I turn off the cable modem connection. I’m not totally sold on Dry loop DSL but it may be something work looking into.
