No one in the southeastern US can offer that due to Bellsouth. It's
called "naked" DSL, or "unbundling" voice from data, and Bellsouth refuses
to do it. You should write to Jay Blossman, your public service
commissioner, and demand that Bellsouth offer DSL without a landline.
I've done this twice, and haven't even gotten a response from the LPSC
(www.lpsc.org for contact info).

Of course it'll never happen now with Bellsouth whining about how many
billions it's costing to rebuild their network. They dont want to share
their lines with *anyone*, with or without a landline.
