Hmm, this isn't true with Speedfactory. I emailed them to tell them I do not
have a local phone line, because we all use cell phones. Here is their
reply:

Mr. Brown,

We are currently unable to provide DSL without a local phone line by
BellSouth.
Within the next few months we should be able to offer 'dry-copper' DSL,
which does not require a BellSouth phone line to ride on.
Thank you for using Speed Factory!

They better get that dry-copper going by August, or I may have to renew my
contract with Comcast... =/
