Call the # on the DSL site. You'll need a modem and DSL will have to be set up on your phone line.
BTW, the spell checker works well. Give it a shot.

Generally you will be sent a self-install kit that consists of a modem / router and a bunch of DSL filters, on which 1 must be installed on every telephone device in your home. Then you insert the CD install disk and you are done. Should take an hour tops.
Enjoy your new broadband!

When you call and order DSL, they will test your phone line to make sure you have a phone line capable of running DSL. Then a few weeks later they send you a modem, you plug it into the phone line, and give it some power... and plug it into your computer using an ethernet cable and network card... and your cruising! You will also get these little filters you have to put on the telephone cords. Piece of cake. So easy a cavewoman could do it.

when you order broadband they will check your line is capable and will post you a modem and install pack with filters usually in about 10-14 days, by that time your line will be activated so you simply install the software, connect the modem and filters and away you go, you generally need to live within 6 miles of the telephone exchange for it to work, they tell you when you apply if your line is capable. its very simple and doesnt take long to get set up

The postal service delivers a modem. You should get verizon DSL because it is reliable and the tech support is outstanding 24/7. Their price is less than $20 a month too.

Yes, most DSL ISP's require one of their propietary DSL modems (external). Then, you have to wait for them to turn it on. AT&T has DSL for cheap, but it is low quality.

One thing, . . . . . . . . . .DSL is only good for three miles from the point of origin of where telephone exchange. If you are any further, forget it, stick with the dial up.
