I've been doing the "dry loop" thing with various providers for years. While it seems cheaper, it isn't always. Be sure to check what they charge for various packages as I've noticed some companies like to advertise internet for $29.99, but only when you get their $50 phone service as well. On top of the pricing fun, they have also charged additional for the privilege of not having a phone on the phone line. I had to get a $12.99 phone line with no extras at one apartment to avoid a "phoneless charge" of $20 per month. Phone companies just don't get that for most intents and purposes the phone is dead. Instead of spending money upgrading their lines to provide better data services that customers want, they hold on to the monopoly mindset and try to shove their entitlement down peoples throats.
