Actually, even if they did wire it to a pots splitter, and there was no pots line present, it'd still work.My speculation is that their billing/accounting system is based on a POTs number, and since these customers will not need one, they will have administrative errors managing accounts.
Their DSL OAM&P, at least in VerizonFL territory, is indeed tied to the associated voice DN; they don't even do *ticket* numbers at the consumer level: the tickets are tied to the DN as well.
Since VZ is doing their FTTP rollout, I imagine they have been tying new customers to Physical Addresses now instead, moving away from the old POTS based system. Again, all speculation based on how I see the DSL/FTTP order process taking place now.
And I've just heard from a customer for FTTP in Tampa that he loves the speed (13/1.2 stable)... but they're PPPoE at the box. <sigh> Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
