Do you have to have a working phone line to get DSL?

Question

We want to use our cell phones and get rid of our home land line. Can we get high speed internet without it? We don't have cable television.

Answer 1

You do need a phone line for DSL, only options are cable or satellite internet, but its usually slow, not loading but getting to pages. And if it rain you might lose signal. Ask your neighbor to get wireless internet and offer to pay for it. so you drop your line and dont have to pay phone bill. You can move in my block, I have open network and Extended antenna that covers my whole block lol.

Answer 2

You need a working phone line to get DSL. But (at least around here) a landline can be as cheap as $15 per month. Just cancel any type of long-distance plan you have and get the most basic one. Good luck!
