How to UNBUNDLE Your DSL


  1. Contact your telephone provider and request to have your DSL service changed to "Naked DSL" or "dry/naked loop".
    Note: Once you do this your phone line and your internet connection will no longer be bundled together.

  2. Your DSL provider will assign a new phone number to your DSL connection and your existing phone number will become a stand alone line. This enables you to switch your current phone line to us your primary phone service without losing your DSL connection.

  3. Do NOT cancel your existing phone line. For your phone number to be transferred to us, it must remain active with your current provider until the transfer is completed.
