DSL dry loop

How can I get DSL dry loop?  I want to drop my phone service.

Verizon doesn't offer Dry Loop DSL anymore, even though there isn't a technical reason as to why they can't. You might want to look around for a DSL Reseller, since you're likely going to be able to get dry loop through them. DSL Extreme tends to be a common choice amongst others for Verizon.

  • Verizon Disconnected My Dry Loop DSL

    I have had the Dry Loop DSL for two years after dropping my landline.  I got the letter from them in May saying they were no longer offering the Dry Loop but for those that have it, nothing changes as long as you don't make a change to your account.  Figured I was fine.  I was away on business last week and came home to no internet.  Spent an hour on the phone between Repair, Billing, back to Repair and then to Sales but all I could find out was there was a Pending Disconnect on my account but they couldn't tell me who did it or why.  Funnily enough on the same day the Disconnect order went through, my Discover Card was billed the $41.99 for June.  The last person I spoke with put an Investigation Order though to find out why this is happening and I was supposed to hear from someone Saturday or Monday.  Nothing.  
    Has this happened to anyone else with the Dry Loop?  They are telling me now to get reconnected, I'll have to bundle with a landline, which I don't want. 
    I plan on disputing the June charge with my credit card company and then go to Comcast.  I can get way more speed for less money for the first year and then it will cost me more but at least I'll have more speed.  
    UPDATE:  I got an email from Customer Service after submitting an issue yesterday telling me that once the diconnect order was placed, it can't be reversed or reconnected.  NO ONE has told me yet WHO order it disconnected and WHY.  They said they will refund me from the 6/22 diconnect date through July 9.  I just placed an order with Comcast for Internet Only AND filled a complaint with the FCC.  I did nothing to initiate this disconnect and if they can just randomly diconnect you and then try to force you into a bundled landline to get reconnected, then no dry loop customer is safe.

  • Move to Dry Loop DSL

    Currently I have a contract with Verizon Double Play until the end of March 2011.  Does Verizon offer Dry Loop DSL?  What do I need to do to move from "landline homephone+internet" to "internet" only.
    Thanks,

    Verizon offers Dry Loop DSL in most areas. Some areas might not offer it. As to why, I couldn't tell you. Just let Verizon know that you want to shut off the telephone service but keep the DSL on. They should be able to put in the request and adjust your bill accordingly. The DSL will go up a few dollars a month when switching to Dry Loop, keep in mind.
    Just be aware that in some cases, Verizon may wind up disconnecting the actual copper loop itself. There should be no need to do this as it is controlled by software for the most part. On a dry-loop DSL line, you will receive a fast busy signal if you attempted to use a phone on it in most areas. Figured I'd give you the heads up on this as it's happened to a buddy of mine and he was by no means prepared for his DSL going dead a day after his phone service was turned off.

  • Slow Dry Loop DSL question

    Hi,
    I've had this dry loop dsl for a couple of months after getting rid of my home phone dial tone and using my VZW smartphone as my only source of voice comm. In the last month (March) speeds have been below dial-up speeds. Before going to dry loop I would typically get on the 1 MB plan 0.75mb down and .35mb up which worked great for me as I don't watch video, play online games or use a lot of bandwidth heavy sites on the net.
    Now beginning in March it has dropped and sometimes just disconnects then returnes to:
    Last Result:Wednesday 04-Apr 2012, 06:22:02 PM
    Download Speed: 138 kbps (17.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
    Upload Speed: 124 kbps (15.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
    Wondering  what happened? I've done the turn on-turn-off Westell 6100 moded, reboot the computer, unplug the dsl line then plug it back into the modem...still can't get consistency like I had  months before going to dry loop dsl. Here's my Westell modem transceiver stats as of this morning: (does look a little better down stream but upstream is ...  well blah for email; especially a 2mb photo attachement!)

     You think a suggestion to Verizon on having the CO in my rural town move me off of a busy router/DSLAM to see if that would bring up my down stream and up stream numbers with consistency? Or maybe the line noise is bad. Or my TIB outside of the house that has been worked on a couple of years ago isn't compatible with dry loop dsl now?
    Thanks for anyone taking the time to help out on this. First time poster here.
    Nixie

    Are you only seeing speed drops during the evening hours or is this a case that occurs 24/7? The line statistics look fine now, but there's a difference between congestion, an incorrectly built PVC and physical line trouble.

  • Dry loop DSL without 1 yr contract

    I was wondering if fry loop DSL is available without 1 yr contract. I checked dry loop is available in my area. The weird thing is when I called customer service this lady called Bela from retention department said it is avilable only with 2 yr contract while the website doesnt mention anything about 2 yr contract.

    Hi Yetendra,
    Yes you can have a plan called as month to month[MTM] which doesnt have a annual contract.
    If you are exiting customer with Verizon you can call 1-8005676789 to change it to MTM
    However if you are new customer you can call 1-8004834000 to sign up

  • Dry loop dsl availablity in autumn creek, friendswood, tx

    Hi,
    I have verizon land line and dsl, would like to know if "dry loop dsl" is available in the autumn creek subdivision, friendswood, tx?
    Thank you,
    Solved!

    Verizon themselves doesn't sell Dry Loop DSL anymore, however you can likely get it from a 3rd party / reseller over Verizon's lines still. Companies such as DSLExtreme tend to be good choices. Services will differ going with a third party in many cases, but the actual Internet connection will usually stay the same.

  • Dry loop availability

    I have been told both on the phone and using the online availbility checker that DLS is not available.  Even though I am in a densly populated area, I am not close enough to a "switching station" apparently.  But what about Dry Loop?  Since it's carrying only data and no voice, would that distance limit be extended?  
    I already have a Verizon voice line, and an extra line running to the house, now disconected, that I used to use for dial up Intenet years ago.  Was thinking that  extra line could be converted to dry loop DSL with very little fuss.
    Bob

    >>18,000ft or less from the Central Office<<
    I assume that's "wired" feet, rather than as the crow fliles.  Correct?  So there is no difference in feet for Data alone and Data and Voice together?

  • Can I use Airport Express (1st gen.) as a wired access point to my wifi Network

    Guys
    I'm using 10.8.4 with the older 6.3 airport utility. I have a Airport Express A1084 (1st. Gen).
    I'm trying to use it, connected to my wireless network, but have a wired ethernet cable from the Airport Express connected to a device. I tried connecting via wire to another laptop to access the web and it doesn't work.
    Any ideas if I can even do this, or do I just buy a new Express Airport. I just want to extend the network using my wireless to a wired device, but don't want to run a cable, because of the distance.
    Thank you
    John

    Bob, I hope you can help me too.  I have 4th generation (? - the flat, square model that was recently replaced) Time Capsule/Airport that I bought to extend my Verizon DSL dry loop modem/wireless signal througout the house and to the guest house.  I now know that it cannot be achieved due to Apple negligence in informing customers that the capsule will only extend from another apple airport product. 
    My question:
    Should I connect it via ethernet to my DSL modem and create a new network, but use the SAME network name, passcodes, etc?  Will that Strengthen my existing wireless signal or will both machines butt heads and duke it out, so to speak?
    B/C, I did have two separate networks going for about a year, different names for each network, and suddenly, the wireless part of the Verizon DSL modem died, and Verizon replaced the entire modem with the Actiontec modem.  So I am concerned that reconnecting the Time Capsule/Airport may damage teh Verizon modem, if that is why just the wireless part of the previous modem failed. 
    Suffice it to say, am very disappointed in the Time Capsule/Airport.  It replaced an older, bigger Western Digital external hard drive that was so easy to use and reliable; am still using it, but it has no wireless signal boost capability, so I purchased the Time Capsule/Airport. 
    Thank you for your help.

  • Slow DSL and inconsistent connections

    Hi, I've got what appears (from what I've read in these forums) to be a common situation: have had Verizon DSL for years, no problems. Suddenly, within the past two months, my speed has dropped (I am paying for 1.5-3 mbps) and the internet connection drops sometimes for no reason. This became a big problem at the end of May when my final papers for grad school were due via email, and is still a problem now when I'm trying to work on my thesis with a number of online sources. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
    I have an Actiontec GT704WG running on a "simulated dry loop" as it has been doing for at least two years, and have made several service calls to Verizon regarding this issue. The first call, I was told to replace the phone line between the router and the phone jack. I did so, and speeds improved for about a day. On subsequent calls, I have just been told to turn the router on and off. I do, and it works for a little while, but I don't feel like I should have to be doing this multiple times a day. Here's what Verizon's speed test just told me:
    Analysis information:

    Please help, this is driving me nuts and I am tempted to look elsewhere for a more reliable internet provider. Thanks!

    Despite missing some upstream from the length of your line (causing lower margins), your line seems to be fairing pretty well. Only a few uncorrectable errors with whatever else was occurring from perhaps noise, being corrected through Interleaving. The drops may be from the low margin on the upstream and downstream. If you happen to have access to a NID, see if you can connect your DSL modem to it and obtain the new statistics it shows. This will let us rule out at least your home's wiring as being the cause of the disconnects.
    As for the speed issues, due to the lack of errors on the line, it looks like you might be suffering from issues related to the Junipers. Once we get some results from a NID test if it is possible, I'll send you some information on how to contact someone who can get you off of the Juniper, if possible, and onto a Redback router.

  • Set up of DSL

    Is there anyone that can actually set up DSL at an address that you are moving TO?  I have been trying for the past two days to get dry loop DSL at my new house (don't move in until 8/3), and I have talked to over 15 people TODAY only!
    Here's my question:
    - How can I get the DSL modem shipped to my CURRENT address, not the service address?
    - How can I get the DSL to become active AFTER 8/3?  Right now nobody can change the active date from 7/22.
    This is enormously frustrating, and I'm tempted to NEVER deal with verizon after my horrible customer service experience.

    To add to this, one thing Verizon doesn't tell you anywhere in their literature, assuming you have the Westell DSL Modem/Wireless router, is the first time you connect and get your account set up, you must have your computer hard wired to the Modem/Router with the supplied Ethernet cable. After that, then then you can switch over to purely a wireless connection, if that is what it is you are doing. I went thru this myself where I couldn't get my setup to work when I first got it because I was wirelessly hooking up to the router. A call to customer support and the guy I got said the first time I had to wire into the router via Ethernet. Sure enough that was the problem. Once I got it setup, I switched back to all wireless and it has been great ever since.

  • Verizon refuses to disable ASSIA on my dsl line

    For the past 8 months I've had problems with the internet speed lowering, so once a month I've had to call Verizon tech to trouble shoot and reset my line. Same thing for months! Anyway, this past week they sent a tech out to check my lines, and as usual, nothing is wrong (they've come out many times). So...they decide to send out yet another Actiontec GT784WNV, my current one is only 3 months old, the previous one was barely a year old! They keep saying it's the modems! And the thing is tech has actually said they see nothing wrong with my modem, then I get transferred to someone else saying it is the modem! It just goes around and around.
    I've spent hours upon hours talking with tech and there's never a solution. I came here to the forums looking for anything that might help... I came across a few posts regarding ASSIA, that's the program that Verizon uses to "optimize" the dsl line and it seems that is what might be causing the problem on my line. In the posts about ASSIA people have said to call Verizon and get them to disable ASSIA on the dsl line and to get the speed reset. It looks like the people with my problem that have gotten it disabled has fixed the issue. So, I decide to give it a try, and call Verizon to get it disabled. Nope, they won't do it because it cannot be done. I pointed out that other customers have had it done, still no. Then they gave me another excuse: they WON'T disable it because it's not part of their troubleshooting. They keep escalating the issue (3 times this week alone) but nothing is ever fixed and I never get called back! And when I came across the one thing that might actually fix the problem they refuse to do it!! I even showed the phone tech the pages on the Verizon forum where they are talking about ASSIA and how disabling it has helped (we were on screen sharing) and that was completely ignored. Unbeliveable!
    I'm on a dry loop and my line is provisioned for 7 mbs.
    So here I am posting this because Verizon phone tech will not help.

  • No DSL as of yet

    It all started 3 months ago I changed my home phone to my cell and went dry loop DSL. I had DSL till they changed the phone number but then everything got shut off. I have repeatedly tried to get the dry loop setup but all I have is a steady DSL light, No Internet light and in the Westel 7500 a "PPP Down".
    I believe the account has not been reactivated yet. Tech support keeps having me recycle the power on the modem/router and my pc but that never works.
    I have tried my sons laptop that works fine on his DSL but it also cannot get internet at my house.
    How can I get this resolved. It has been almost a month and no resolution as of yet.

    Have you checked you monthly statement?  If you are being charged for the service call billing and ask why the charge if the service has not yet begun.  You should have received a confirmation describing the start date and the procedure to follow for the dsl service.  If there is no record of you having the service ask to have it started.

  • I need someone to assist me with setting my dsl to the proper speed of 10mb from current at 7.1

    I am getting very frustrated with customer service being unable to resolve setting my dsl speed to the max available on my line which is 10 mb a second according to dsl tech support. I am getting to the point that I am going to cancel my service if this situation does not get resolved. I am currently only set in the system to a speed of 7.1mb and this speed was what I was getting with my dry loop dsl. I had to add a phone line and a double bundle in order to get the faster speed of 10mb a second. I need help right away to resolve this issue. No one at billing or technical support has been able to fix this issue with multiple calls and transfers from one department to another.

    Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up.  It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace)  might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
    For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
        news.giganews.com

    Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
    #3 If you don't know how to get that info:
