I'm a Cable guy and don't know much about DSL. Buy my in-laws still use AOL DIal Up. Anyway, they got an offer AOL has now to get Highspeed for the same prices as DIal-Up.
Anyway, they are offiering the AOL half for about $11 and the AT&T DSL Package for $14.99. Says speeds are "Up to 1.5 Meg" System is "ADSL".
Anyhow, they can get the activation for free and there's no install fee if they just get shipped the modem and don't have the "professional Installation". My main question is, is DSL as simple to "install" as cable? Do you just plug the modem into the phone line and you're done? Or does anything need to actually get changed inside the house? Not sure if they can just take any phone line they have in the house and plug the modem into it or how exactly that works.
Thanks
