Qwest DSL don't need a phone line?

This is what a phone rep told me. Is this true?

have it right now with AT&T

Basically the government told them they had to start offering "dry loop" dsl

you still need a physical phone line, but you don't have to pay for voice. you can get Data only.

Interestingly, though, AT&T will charge you approx. $20/mo extra if you do not have phone service on the line. Basic local phone service runs about $17/mo. So it's effectively a wash. And still cheaper than cable.

I pay 27 a month total for my 3 meg service so that is not correct..... Like i said, the government told them they had to offer it up like that.
