[ale] BellSouth DSL setup

Fri Sep 16 16:47:50 EDT 2005

This was true for a while, but I don't think it is true anymore.  They
recently dropped their residential DSL prices across the board, and it
only requires BS dial tone to get the standard pricing.  They state
pricing that is only $10 more if you don't have BS dial tone at all,
which I assume means they are now or will be offering "naked" DSL lines,
like Speakeasy and others.  So, their new pricing seems very competitive
to me.  Check out fastaccess.com for more info.
