I just don't give a fuck User ID: 60052792 United States 03/26/2015 09:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Okay, So I'm tethered to my mom's tablet because I'm borrowing it for temporary internet. Quoting: Phoenix01 Anyways, Century link sent me a self installation package (Includes modem) Do I need to have phone service for my DSL to work? Or is the line used to send data back an fourth? The reason why I ask this is because I have never had DSL, and have very little technical knowledge on how DSL works. The line is used to send data back and forth. You still need to subscribe to the DSL service, whether or not you have telephone.
