Comparison of Regular and Naked DSL In regular DSL, a wire is run from the telephone switch to a piece of equipment called a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) splitter. The POTS splitter separates the DSL and voice bands and then a wire carrying both services runs from the splitter to the cable head, where it continues on to the customer on outside plant. See DSLAM. In the field of telecommunications, a central office houses equipment that is commonly known as simply a switch, which is a piece of equipment that connects phone calls. ...

Qwest Communications currently provides naked DSL service voluntarily, and Verizon Communications also provides it in some areas, albeit at a higher price than it charges customers who bundle it with regular phone service. This makes Verizon's naked DSL not able to compete with its own bundled service, and not the most economical choice for consumers who want DSL. The cheapest landline plus the bundled DSL costs about the same, $32, as the naked DSL, in effect causing DSL to cost *at least* that amount. Frontier Communications (AKA Citizens and Newnorth) also offer naked DSL in several of their coverage areas at a cost of $20 a month, making it cheaper than traditional POTS+DSL service, and occasionally cheaper than local competing cable services.
