The dirty little secret of DSL

One of the major selling points is that voice and data don’t conflict on the same line, right? You can talk on your phone while still perusing the Web. This was, in fact, one of the major reasons I finally made the switch; my principal client kept griping about calling the home phone number and “bothering” my mother (that’s in quotes because she insists she wasn’t bothered at all).
Ok, I’ve had DSL for about a week now. The tally of voice calls so far?

  • Two outgoing to my client
  • One incoming from my client
  • Five incoming from telemarketers

Remind me this was a smart idea.
