hi all i have broadband connected via the land line we hardly make any phone call on the land line. question can i get rid of the telephone side of the land line but still use the line for the internet connection. what i'm trying to do is get rid of the cost of quarterly line rental. if i can i will start using the voip system. hope that makes sense. the other alternative is go wireless. regards al.

Hi Al
If your exchange supports it, you can go Naked ADSL but you may find the cost of going Naked could negate the savings of doing away with your land line.
I recommend checking with your ISP to see if they can do Naked ADSL and then you can do your sums from there.
... (Naked ADSL means you do not need a land line to receive broadband)
Cheers

Why is it called Naked DSL ?? Why not just wireless DSL.?? I had visions of someone down the Telephone exchange getting their gear off. Or worse.................I had to get my gear off to use it. (I don't feel so good...............thinking about that)
That gives a whole new meaning to the forum thing. Sitting around typing.....naked..!!
How you feeling now Granny??

Well done Delta18 Thanks!!
I just looked that up and learnt some more stuff. BUT it still doesn't tell me wether I should get my gear off or not. Bugger it.............I might just get it off anyway. I'll post the pics shortly.

Good On Yer Ducky.... nothing like a bit of gratuitous nudity and the suggestion of hanky panky to crank the forum up. By the way have you all made your Aluminium Beanies as per my earlier post?

This naked nudity sounds like a traumatice experience.
I will tolerate a little bit of hanky, but no panky - well, not much panky.
I agree with JRH - nudity is a great contraceptive.
If I have to sit here naked to use wireless, mobile internet the scammers are going to have nightmares, and it serves them right for peeking.

Too late on the "Stay out of the sun" advice. Hmmph!!
I think the webmaster banned the pictures I put up. I thought they turned out well. Naked, pink and wearing an alfoil helmet. Where's the problem?? Maybe it was because I was sunburnt??
Why do I see you all breathing a deep sigh of relief??
I'll pm them to everyone.

And you know this by practical experiment Terro?
Actually the tinfoil beanie would be good in hot weather, it would conduct the heat from your scalp.
But back to the nether regions for a sec, I have been doing some reading and it is also imperative that all males wear an Alfoil cod piece to prevent their "seed" being stolen by Aliens. I strongly urge you all to to fashion one from Alfoil and wear it under your incontinence pads.....

No problem with you sitting there naked, Disco, but I better warn you, that tin foil hat is doing something to the ions in the atmosphere, because I'm getting a very good mental picture of you & I would say that birthday suite could do with a starch & Press.

02:50 PM Nov 20, 2009
LOL Biggles...............I have to agree. It really does work like that !! You have no idea of the images it has conjoured up in my mind. Sheesh!!
An alfoil codpiece.........?? Damn.......there goes the 2 foot length of aluminium pipe I have been using.
I often wondered about the aliens stealing my seed. I thought I saw a Spielberg movie once about aliens and they all looked like Ducks. Am I too late? Could the next generation of "Star Trek" have a Duck as Mr Spock or would he become Mr Quack?? They'll have a hard time fixing the ears.
"Beam me up Ducky??" How does that sound? "Warp speed please and don't ruffle my feathers".
When I get home tonight I am going to study up on all the old Trekky sayings........just in case. Gotta be prepared
Where's the Yummies Ibbo??

Hi Disco Duck, lol very funny with the nudity and all.
Just letting you know we used to use Voip for phone calls to save money, now we use Southern Cross Telco
For 60 bucks a month we get unlimited local calls, 20 cent STD calls to anywhere in Aus for as long as we want to talk, and 30 cent mobile calls for as long as we want to talk.
We got it through a communications broker in Wodonga called TCS R Direct.
Our phone bill went from 150 per month to about 75 per month.

Just been going through my VOIP phone bills. Made some interesting reading. The three bills I looked at were $53 for July August, $27 for August September and $20 for September October. This includes call to mobiles and all landlines within Oz. Haven't made any OS calls lately but they are so cheap it wouldn't have made much difference. Our provider is Engin, $14.95 a month the extra is the mobile calls. So for the $53 bill my wife must have a hot ear after that. Hot ear! I'll give her a hot ear now I've read the bill. VOIP is good, no Telstra line rental, go for it.

Disco Duck said

Thanks Trekker. Good information.
Now tell me why you changed from VOIP to Southern Cross. Is Southern Cross a landline or internet based phone?
P.S. Don't mention nudity on here. Granny gets all funny and difficult to control!!
Sir Terro.............I think you have convinced me.
I'll stop the wife using the phone. That'll save heaps !!

I can't wear my birthday suit anymore. It's got holes in it.
Nudity should be a criminal offence for the over 30's from what I observed on the nudist section of Cable Beach.
Anyone wanting to drive onto the beach or walk and head north have to drive past that bit of the beach. Well, the whole beach can be a nudy beach, but the naturists choose to park at the entry point of the beach. Maybe they're just exhibitionists, and not naturists.
It's where the camel rides mount up as well. Not exactly family entertainment.
The camel ride operators don't issue blindfolds.
The camels are even dressed with saddles and blankets, but no blinkers.
As for communication, I'm stuck with a mobile only because I'm permanently portable. Because I use internet for lots of things, other than Nomads Forums, I prefer to have private access rather than internet cafe. It can be very expensive too.
Just who is the Telstra Bigpond watchdog? The Telecommunications Ombudsman must be tearing his/her hair out trying to keep the b'stds honest.

How come as gravity takes over and everything heads South a certain part of the male anatomy tends to shrink.
I know it has nothing to do with telephones.

I know about shrinkage, I measured mine the other day and it was under 12 inches, a major loss!

Bloke goes to the dentist to have a tooth extracted, tells the dentist he can't have gas and he is terrified of needles so the dentist gives him a Viagra tablet.
"Will it stop the pain"? asks the bloke.
"No" says the dentist "But it will give you something to hang on to when I pull that tooth".

Isn't it good how Al starts the thread with a question about VOIP phones and from there it's all downhill.
I think all threads should end in filth. At least that way we know that everyone is paying attention!!

now you listen to me Mr "stand in the bulldust" Biggles, i know for a fact the last time I measured my left foot it was precisely 13" long, I remeasured it a few days ago and has in fact shrunk to less than 12"
now if we wish to measure other paraphernalia then I must get the yardstick out! and I will need a volunteer, any one at all, what about that spotty little kid in the back corner,
yeah the one that looks like a duck,
waddle over here son I got something for ya!! ya want a lollipop!!
i have broadband connected via the land line we hardly make any phone call on the land line.
