[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 274353, member: 2901"] Daisy, ATT offers what's called a dry loop service, that is a DSL connection without accompnaying phone service. They offer this at 4 different speeds. According to Vonage I can port the phone number I already have over to their service, so that I will have the same number - which is what I want . . . . I think switching phone numbers would be too confusing(esp for my Dad, who is 90 yrs old). But actually, I think everyone would understand if our phone number changes, due to budget constraints - even Dad:) If Vonage can be supported by the lowest speed, I will be saving a nice chunk of change using ATT for DSL internet and Vonage for my phone. I would be saving some, but not a lot - if I go with a faster speed. You are absolutely correct; I had my download and upload speeds reversed. Downstream is quicker. Witz, I will let you know what I go with. I've been researching this over the past few weeks in an attempt to trim costs where I can.....even tho I work, my husband is dealing with a permanent disability condition and his income has been drastically reduced. I am doing what I can to maximize what we have to work with. [/QUOTE]
