With all the many problems of Insight I connected a DSL line and began running a second network in my home, I still have some of the computers on Insight's Cable, then I have one dedicated to SBC's (I live in Indiana) DSL. I am very happy with it, the speed seems about the same as DSL, I have not done a real test, but opening URL's is very close.
It hasn't been down since being installed for about a month, but prior to Insight's famous May, it had been down very little as well. I have found their Mac support to be O.K., I just have to keep asking for a Mac person if we hit a wall. I can't answer your last question about getting DSL without a landline, this will have to be addressed by others, or the phone company. John R.
