I'm in the same boat as you.  I have a friend who works the helpdesk
for Telus in Alberta, and they do not offer such a service there.

It's technically feasible (no reason you can't run DSL on "dry copper"), they
just "don't do it."  I suspect Bell/other DSL providers are the same.


(now you see, the funny part is that my phone line isn't "dry"...it actually
HAS a dialtone...it just won't let you dial anyone but Bell's sales department.)

I should probably go ask them or something.
