Do I need a phone line to receive Fiber Optic Internet?

Question

I currently have dialup. Because of my cell phone, I only am using my home phone line to get online. I pay $40 a month for the phone line and $20 a month for dialup Internet so I think I might be able to save money if I go another route. Do I need a phone line for Fiber? Also, would I need my phone line to get cable Internet?

Thanks!

Also, I do have Fiber available at my home.

Answer 1

Paying 20 a month for dialup is like 1990's price. You do not need a phone line for Cable Internet but will need it for DSL Internet.

If you are looking for a cheaper Internet then what you have then fiber optic is not the way to go. That option will be more like 100+ a month. And no you do not need a phone line for fiber connection.

Answer 2

you can order dsl that runs over your phone line its less than 40 a month and bundled with your land line its far less than cable.Call your phone company and they will hook you up.

Answer 3

Phone line is copper wire.

Fiber optic is glass fiber.

You figure it out.

Answer 4

You can get fiber to your home? I am SO jealous!!!
