Well, of course you can run your PC without a telephone. You can run your PC without Internet, for that matter.
But if you still want internet, you should check with your internet provider to see if they offer "naked DSL", where you keep the DSL but don't pay for regular telephone service.
Your other option is to dump DSL and go with another method like cable or clearwire.

ok, as an electric engineer myself i will in step with possibility help you with an answer. the telephone line is what we call a "small sign" gadget. this means that it aspects some milliamps of DC contemporary at very low voltage skill. The widely used potential socket aspects numerous Amps of AC contemporary with greater voltage skill (e.g.: a hundred and ten V). the telephone line has in simple terms adequate potential to offer the tone you hear so as to p.c. up the dial sort frequencies in a telephone unit. This "trickle" of potential, may be adequate to offer different small issues, inclusive of an LED (or small easy). even though it can not supply great customers of potential (inclusive of refrigerators, air conditioners...etc.) which truly make the version on your electric bill. Its additionally not accessible to "overload" the telephone community, because of the fact the potential intake is in simple terms too low in spite of how a lot you draw from it. Its additionally not metered, yet your close by telecom corporation might computer screen any unusual fluctuations in simple terms for maintenance purposes.

If you have a cable provider you can get Internet through them and it's usually a lot faster. If you have to use a phone just take some of the bells and whistles off like long distance and what not if you don't use them.

You need your 'phone line to access the internet, send email,etc. Most ISP's have a fixed rate tarrif where you pay the same amount every month for a fixed number of hours on-line, so at least you know where you stand. Ask your ISP and check other providers in your area on-line.

Yes you can get cable. In my area I have Cox Cable and it is high speed internet. Actually I have one that only cost $15 per month it is slower then their normal high speed but only when downloading things like music. Cable is great cause we don't have a land line only cells.

Sure. But if you want the internet check with your cable company - they may have broadband - you'll pay no matter what. You can also try an air card from cellular phone company - verizon and cingular have them.

You don't need a phone to run your PC. YOu only need that if you want to go online, and don't have access to cable or dsl service.

If you mean you are always going over on your minutes for online, you can change your plan and save a few bucks. You got to pay to play though.
