I am not sure who uses DSL here. I have two people I know who use it,
both are dissatisfied and if they had an alternative it woud not be.

Curious to know if naked DSL (DSL without dialtone & POTS link) is
common in North America? We don't have that available here in India yet
apart from fact that PSTN <<>> IP connectivity is banned which brings up
back to GSM/CDMA and POTS option.

One thing of note that I've been tracking is this:

I'm somewhat dubious about the following claims on the part of the
carrier. This is a carrier that wants to meter your cellular data but
provides wifi service inferior to the cellular data to "offload" their
wireless network.

"Bill sponsors and phone companies including AT&T say deregulating
land-line phone service will increase competition and allow carriers to
invest in better technology rather than expand a dying service. Some
consumer organizations fear the change will hurt affordable service,
especially in rural areas."
