I would like to switch from AT&T residential phone + DSL to Sonic.net Fusion broadband, with the bonded twin-line high speed service. It is not clear on the website, but I'm guessing that this involves two physical phone lines, drawn all the way into the residence -- is that right? I do not plan to actually use a second telephone line, but it sounds like the extra wiring is necessary.
Right now I have only a single phone line in my unit. I do not actually know what might be involved in getting a second line. I know it probably needs a new physical line run from the primary NIC for the building into my unit, but for all I know it may also require a new line dropped to that NIC from the street wiring.
Is there any way to find out ahead of time what will be required? As it is I'm expecting that i need to be home when the installation happens, not just for verification of service but also to deal with the work of running new wire.
I'd also like to avoid dealing with AT&T for any of this, but that goes without saying... ;)
