I have naked Bellsouth DSL, 6M for $47/mo. 768x128 should be available for $20. They call it "dry-line DSL".<br><br>My brother and I both have used the 768x128 service with VoIP and are satisfied with the quality.<br>

You misunderstood the ability of Monopolies to ignore FCC and other<br>
regulatory body regulations.<br>
<br>
AT&T (SouthWestern Bell & BellSouth) and Verizon (BellAtlantic) weren't<br>
supposed to be able to offer long distance without opening their lines<br>
for local competition. Despite that they did enough to prevent the<br>
competition and yet started offering long distance. Then the Bush<br>
inJustice Department sold us all out further by allowing the mergers<br>
that made these two monoliths.<br>

I thought that as a condition for FCC approval of the BellSouth-AT&T<br>
merger, "the new AT&T" was supposed to make naked DSL available to<br>
previously-BellSouth customers. Did I misunderstand something?<br>
