>Same speed up & down???  

No, it's 768x128, 1.544x144 (I think).  I don't exactly recall the "up"
speeds.  A 128 up is plenty for VOIP or IMAP so I'm not too concerned.

>SDSL?

No, ADSL

>Static IP(s)?

One.
 
>If so, that's GOOD!

I thought so.

>>>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

>Okay, that could be a pain.  Are incoming calls free or charged?

No, I don't think incoming calls are a ding.

>>Which is OK for us since every dweller has a mobile phone with mucho

Sure, VOIP.

Well is $49 a month + $20 a month for the line, thats $70 a month.  You
must be using football school graduate math.

No, please don't kill it.
