| 1216535 | 2011-07-13 07:55:00 | Still going to need a phone line. Given how how many people have problems with their internet connection I would not be relying on something like that for my main means of phone communication. | Safari (3993) | ||

| 1216537 | 2011-07-13 08:30:00 | is there is still a charge? ie., phoneline + BB = maybe $45 + $60 ... $105 nDSL with an equiv BB plan might cost $85. in otherwords you won't just pay $60 for it ... with that little difference, some pple may stick with a traditional line and the phonecalls does not use up your internet data .... unless if the Orcon approach is v different. |

| 1216540 | 2011-07-13 09:24:00 | Nope. A naked DSL line will work. It is still a phone line, just doesn't have a phone number and someone still has to pay for it. |

| 1216541 | 2011-07-13 21:08:00 | The only difference between this, and their current "HomeHub" or "BizHub" device that they offer, is is that it has a phone integrated as opposed to requiring a corded / cordless phone be attached? Call me crazy, but Xnet have done stuff like this with their pre-provisioned Linksys devices, both ATA's and routers with an FXS port... |

| 1216542 | 2011-07-13 21:37:00 | Nope. A naked DSL line will work. Not when you loose the internet. I'm on Orcon and I have experienced the odd day when it has been dead. Luck i still have a analog landline.. |
