When I first purchased DSL, I only wanted DSL (dry-loop; no phone service). Was told that couldn't happen. I knew that it could, but didn't want to fight the fight at the time. However, four years later, and we NEVER answer our home phone, the answering machine screens all calls.
I want to drop phone service and keep DSL (have no other internet option), but I've read some horror stories from others who did that and then lost DSL, too, and then got re-billed for activation, etc.
I depend on DSL for working from home and can't be down, so has anyone had a SUCCESSFUL incident in doing something similar?
