>>But Ameri-wreck only installs Business DSL on a Business phone line, so
>>you'll need a business line (install $42, $20 a month) and then put
>>Business DSL on it ($49.95 a month, $50 activation, $99 router). And
>>they may charge you ~$100-200 to install the router.
>What speed DSL?
$49.95 is for 768k, $59.95 is for 1.544Mb
>Do you really need a 2nd phone line,
Yes, it must be a "business" line, you can't convert a residential pair
to business.
>or can you switch and use the "business line" as your home phone?
I suppose. I intend to drop my residential line once the business line
is installed. But EVERY (even local) call on a business line is a ~8.2
cent charge.
Which is OK for us since every dweller has a mobile phone with mucho
minues, so we primarily use those anyway.
>Or just drop your home phone and
>use the business line as your home phone.
My plan.
>Then it's only $50/month.
>Not bad for business DSL, IMO (as long as it's a fast speed).
I thought so, I'm still double checking some things.
