No. Our DSL service has no need for dial tone since it is a dedicated data circuit. Think of them as two totally separate entities--you do not need one to have the other. In fact we serve many locations that have no dial tone lines, where DSL is used for data and their personal cellular phones are used for voice calls.

Generally no. Depending on the carrier, DSL may be added to your phone line or the carrier may provide a "local loop" or "circuit" through the local phone company from your property back to their "central office" where their DSL equipment is located. If you choose a carrier that adds DSL to your line, some line types, such as Centrex, will not work with DSL. If an appropriate line is not available, you will need to add one.

You do not need a phone line to have DIRECTV installed; you can enjoy DIRECTV without a phone line. However, if you want DIRECTV Plus DVR and/or you want the ability to order Pay Per View channels from your remote control, a phone line is required to send the information for DVR service and Pay Per View requests to DIRECTV.

No. Qwest provides a "local loop" or "circuit" through the local phone company from your property back to the "central office" where the Qwest equipment is located. The cost of this line is included in your monthly fee to Qwest.

If you want to change your DSL phone number, please contact us first. We will need to place a new order for you in order to provide DSL service on your new phone number. This may require special inside wiring. A third-party installer may be able to rewire the phone jack in the room where you want the computer. Please discuss the details with your local phone provider or a third-party installation company. EarthLink offers Freestanding DSL at 1.5Mbps and 3.

No additional phone lines are necessary. All patient calls are handled at our telecommunication center.

No. Small Office DSL is a shared-line ADSL service, so it shares the line with your existing voice service.

No. EarthLink High Speed services work without tying up your phone line. So you can save the expense of an extra phone line and still talk on the phone and surf the Internet at the same time.

If you qualify for DSL, we can provision it through your existing phone line. No additional telephone line is needed.

To find out now, please enter your phone number on the "Order DSL Now page" or in any of the boxes throughout the site that say "Search for Special Offers." This process allows us to tell you if your line can be used for high speed internet.

Yes. The DSL digital signal is running at a much higher frequency on your phone line. We recommend you use filters on your telephones to help prevent any possible interference, though. These filters are available for free with your DSL line service from Qwest.

If ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is offered in your area, your DIRECTV DSL? connection and regular phone service can almost always share your existing phone line, so you don't have to install a new one. You'll only need an extra line if you live in an apartment or condominium that has three or more existing lines, or if you have a security system connected to your current line.

DSL frequencies are only understood by the DSL modem. When the internet is on (and your modem powered on), higher frequencies are active on your phone line and your standard telephone instrument won't be able to distinguish dial tone. A frequency filter will block the DSL frequencies so that only dial tone is available. The DSL modem has a built-in filter and provides dial tone for one telephone instrument. DO NOT plug your modem into a filter as this will block the DSL signal.

Yes, technology on your phone lines such as repeaters, digital carrier systems, load coils and the lack of telephone company facilities (such as available lines) at your local telephone company office may prohibit or delay you in receiving DSL.

No, our Internet service is wireless from our point of access to your location. You will also no longer need your dial-up service provider.

Local telephone service is included in the monthly cost of a VIP apartment; second phone lines are available as an A La Carte Amenity. Further, long-distance, local long-distance, toll charges, directory assistance and any other additional charges incurred will be billed to you or applied to your credit card on file if necessary. Please call your leasing agent for additional information.

If you want remote communications then a phone line is necessary. However, the system will operate just fine without a phone line.

DSL can work over your existing phone line, or will bring an additional data line into your home and take care of ordering and installing the line. The type of implementation depends on where you live. In any case, you will still be able to use your existing phone line for your voice calls and keep your same telephone number.

You may use any type of computer that is able to support an Ethernet card, which includes most recent models. Note that some newer computers, such as Macintosh, come with a built-in Ethernet card, in which case you do not need to install one. Check the specs on your computer or look for a RJ-45 jack (like a phone jack) in the back of your computer to determine whether an Ethernet card is already present.

Yes! DSL will either provide DSL service on your existing phone line or bring a new data line into your home for your DSL, depending on where you live. In either case, you will be able to use your existing home telephone line for phone calls while you're surfing the web.

No. DSL allows you to connect to the Internet and make phone calls at the same time. This means you can still talk on the phone, send a fax, or get messages on your answering machine while you surf the Internet at the same time.

Most businesses have at least one phone line at their business location, and since credit card terminals can share the same line this is usually not a problem. However, some merchants such as trade show merchants may find it cost prohibitive to have a phone line installed at each travel location. These merchants should consider a wireless terminal that works similar to a cell phone.

Subic Telecom DSL installation typically takes 15 days upon payment of initial charges to be installed at your location. But before installation, Subic Telecom will first pre-qualify your telephone line if it is possible to provide DSL service.

The system should not influence a DSL or ISDN at all. Because the internet traffic is on a different frequency, it is not perceived by the phone as being a phone call.

DSL signals travel across a phone line, so a phone line is required. However, actual phone service is not required, although having a Qwest phone line does drop the price of the DSL package. Prices for Stand-Alone DSL (DSL with no phone service) can be found here.

A: Installing DSL could possibly inhibit your alarm system from reporting properly. Always test your system to ensure it is reporting properly after the installation. This can be done by placing your system on test through the Central Monitoring Station and arming your system. Next, set off devices to send an alarm to Central Monitoring Station (ex: open a door or walk by a motion).
