Silly questions about Fusion provisioning
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2011 12:38 pm
To put this in context, my understanding of DSL provisioning dates to the days when you could either get a voice line from PacBell or a data line from Covad. Fail to stay current, and everything old is n00b again...
Anyway, is Good Old ADSL still contingent on maintaining a now-AT&T-CA voice line? And do I correctly understand that Fusion cuts the ILEC entirely out of the picture (except, presumably, for the copper)? And that the Fusion voice component is regular old PSTN, not VOIP?
[little tear'o'joy wells up at the thought of replacing AT&T with Sonic as my phone company]
If so, I guess the only part I don't understand is how Sonic switches the voice traffic. Not that I need to understand, but when approaching a product that seems too good to be true, one hesitates to leave bases uncovered.
