 |
|
AT&T finally started offering naked DSL at the start of 2008 for them folk who don't got no phone line. AT&T isn't making it easy to find the order page on their website, but here's the direct link to their naked DSL plan page:
AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet - No Voice Line Plans
http://www.att.com/gen/general?pid=10850
No phone line means approximately $30 less expenses on my utilities per month. The price of naked DSL seems to be about $5 more than with a phone line, but there's still a savings.
Now I wonder how I'll hook up my Dish Network DVR to dial out and avoid that $5 monthly fee.

It sounds like you and me signed up for the same bundle pack! The naked DSL sounds good. I'm glad I gave ATT my business. |

| Crap. I just realized there's one device in my hizouse that is dependent on a POTS line. I'd have to invest in some new expensive hardware to use wireless, so I'll need to hire an expensive consulting firm to do a cost/benefit analysis and an ROI study ala Calexico government to determine if going nekkid is worthwhile. |

Vonage is about $25 for unlimited calls. Might as well keep my AT&T voice line at that price. Even the Vonage 500 minute plan is $15. Not really worth it IMO for the hassle of possibly having to switch to another VOIP service once VG gets delisted and goes out of biz later in the year. |

Some home devices and services require a landline, like a home security system and a dial-up BBS.
What? You don't dial into the Calecia.com BBS? Psshh... you're missing out on some premium content.
I use my mobile phone for long distance. I can add on a Mexico long distance plan to my Sprint service for $4 a month and make calls for $0.09 a minute. |
