Anyone here have a dry loop on their verizon dsl line? (a line with no phone number or dial-tone) I am want to get two DSL lines and load balance them over a dual WAN port router... currently have one phone line with a number and DSL on it, there is 3 more lines in the house inactive, wanted to activate one of them as a dry loop and get DSL on it only for this... anyone have an idea how much verizon charges for a dry loop DSL connection? or any experience with one? or experience with dual wan routers doing stuff like this? thanks!

I haved tried to get dry dsl for ages. And verizon wont offer it in my area. One lady I talked to told me its only offered in certen areas. Also, you need to be on the new "ATM" network rather then the old "Frame" network. First find out if your on the Frame or ATM network. then if they sey ATM then you MAY be able to get dry-loop. Alot of Reps wont know what your talking about. So if you call and they play stupid with ya, ask to be transferd to someone else who can help you. Or just save yourself alot of time and ask for a Supervisor.

Chances are, if your on the new ATM network, you will be able to get it. And it does cost more then regular DSL w/phoneline, how much more?, i dont know. sorry.

p.s if you have Verizon FIOS in your area get it. ITS WAY worth the money!

    • Denmark ditching Windows and Office for Linux as it may not want to rely on Microsoft, Trump

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Denmark, and perhaps the rest of NATO, should not trust TRUMP [and JD Vance in the unlikely event he becomes President in 2028]. As for trusting Microsoft, that is "at your own risk," especially in view of the change in their corporate philosophy and Operating Systems since Windows-7.

      No, it’s not what you said (notice the for you part?) and what you quoted is not everything they said. Cherry picking your quote to suit your “pointless” comment is silly when we can all go back and read everything that was actually said. My experience has been similar to theirs.
    • AMD quietly releases a new budget-friendly AM4 processor with 3D cache

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD quietly releases a new budget-friendly AM4 processor with 3D cache by Taras Buria In November 2023, news emerged about AMD preparing more Ryzen processors with 3D cache for the AM4 platform, which is now nine years old. It took a while for the company to confirm those rumors, but it's finally here. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is now official, a new entry-level chip with stacked cache to offer good gaming performance to those on tight budgets. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D (first spotted on EEC last year) is basically a clocked-down Ryzen 5 5600X3D. This six-core, twelve-thread AM4 processor operates at a base speed of 3GHz, and it can boost itself up to 4GHz. For comparison, the Ryzen 5 5600X3D has a 3.3GHz base clock and a 4.4GHz boost clock. L3 cache, however, remains unchanged: 96MB, which is a big deal for games (the more cache, the better performance). The same goes for the platform: it is built using TSMC's 7nm process and Zen 3 architecture. Unlike the current AM5 Ryzen chips with 3D cache, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D is not unlocked, which means its modest clocks cannot be overclocked beyond stock values. For comparison, here is AMD's current portfolio of AM4 processors with 3D cache: AM4 3D V-Cache CPUs Platform Core Count Base Clock Boost Clock L3 Cache AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 8 cores, 16 threads 3.4GHz 4.5GHz 96MB AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D AM4 8 cores, 16 threads 3.0GHz 4.1GHz 96MB AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D AM4 6 cores, 12 threads 3.3GHz 4.4GHz 96MB AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D AM4 6 cores, 12 threads 3.0GHz 4.0GHz 96MB Interestingly, the new Ryzen 5 5500X3D is listed as only available in Latin America (LATAM), which means you are unlikely to see it on sale in the United States or Europe. Therefore, you will have to look at other AM4 processors if you want to get more power without switching platforms. Source: @Zed__Wang on X
