That's what I do. Yes. And that was the reason why "Naked DSL" was available.
Historical lesson: As a part of WNP (wireless number portability), FCC mandated that "enhanced services" on the landline must be preserved after transfer of the phone number. Accordingly, Dec 10 2003, VZ announced DSL-after-WNP (first in Texas, then Apr 2004 in the rest of VZ footprint). Some time later, FCC went back and said that there was no requirement to preserve DSL. Aug 6 2004 VZ cancelled the WNP process. As of today, the WNP is back - I have no idea why. I would assume they wanted to do it so they can provide VoiceWing customers with 'naked dsl'. > I wonder if Verizon can convert an existing DSL w/voice to just > naked/dry DSL. I would guess so... Not yet. For now, the only way to initiate it is to port the number away. -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
