  • With regular DSL, your regular phone line is carrying two types of electrical signal - your phone voice and the internet data destined to/from your computer(s). You pay the phone company for the line and phone service and your internet service provider or ISP (not necessarily the phone company) is piggybacking the internet service on the same line. With dry loop DSL, you're paying your ISP to both provide the wire to your home and the internet data it carries. In other words, no phone company involvement. But because the ISP has to maintain / install the wire to your house, it costs more money. Now, this is a general description based on how things work in certain places - your area may be different. Dry loop DSL (also known as dedicated loop DSL) is not available everywhere.
