Default Anyone use "naked" DSL from Telus?

I've generally been happy with Telus (outside of a recent issue, but one out of 7+ years isn't a deal breaker).

I'm thinking about getting my landline phone number transferred to Cell. By combining landline/cell I could justify something like an iPhone.

But I'm worried about entering the technical morass that is Rogers and Telus and getting everything screwed up. I want to keep my DSL service and just move my phone service.

Has anyone tried this before, and what were your experiences?

Unless things have changed, is you won't save anything. Telus just uses the extra pair on your landline for DSL and as a result they ding you for home phone service anyway.

Now, this is my understanding from a few years ago so perhaps things have changed but I think if you want to dump the home phone then you need to change your ISP to someone other than the phone company.
