iiNet Naked DSL Coming Soon

For most of us, to get a fast internet connection, we need to get ADSL. The first requirement to have an ADSL is a phone line. Getting a phone line means that we need to pay line rental every month. That obviously makes sense but nowadays there is not a lot of people that is still using home phones but they still want the internet connection.

This is going to change soon with the introduction of Naked DSL service, which basically means that you can connect your ADSL internet service without connecting your phone line. This basically saves you $30 a month.

iiNet is one of the internet service provider (ISP) that will do this. They have been trialling the service to a number of customers and it is going well. As a result, they will launch the naked DSL pretty soon. To get more info, iiNet has launched a website for this new product, http://www.gonaked.com.au/ or http://www.iinet.net.au/gonaked.

You can register your interest there and find out more about the naked DSL. I think it will launch end of November. I think it's a great product but customer need to realise that they will not have a home phone so any service that is associated with a phone (faxing, etc) will not work. Another downside is that you will not have a reliable line to call emergency (triple-0) if such a need arise.
