Re: Friend wants to switch from ROGERS to TEKSAVVY...but...

daboom is correct in this instance. If it is Roger's Digital Home Phone then no, regular DSL will not work, the friend will indeed need Dry Loop. Essentially Digital Home phone is pretty well VoIP that uses a cable box to connect the phone services. Furthermore if he does decide to go with TekSavvy Dry Loop, it would be in his best interest to call up Roger's and have them hook one of the phone jacks back into the Bell System. (Due to the fact that from my experience Roger's does not charge to set one back but Bell will charge to hook one up)

Regards,

Rick

Re: Friend wants to switch from ROGERS to TEKSAVVY...but...

Depending on where you live Rogers Home phone is either a digital system (not quite VoIP) or circuit switched.

It boils down to if you have rogers cable available to you.

I live in peterborough and so the home phone service is over the circuit switched lines. My parents in newmarket get it over the cable system.

Rogers used the cable system mainly to avoid paying bell to lease the land line.
