Dry DSL and the Dry Loop
If you don’t have, and don’t want, a Bell Canada landline, you can still take advantage of SwitchWorks High Speed Internet.
What is a dry loop?
A dry loop, also called a local loop or a dry pair, is a telephone landline without an active telephone service—in other words there is no dial tone (that’s why it’s called “dry”), and no telephone number assigned to the line. The sole purpose of the line is to provide high speed Internet (DSL) to the address.
Do I need a dry loop?
If you have telephone service from Bell Canada at your home or office you do NOT need a dry loop in order to get DSL, because the high speed Internet service will be delivered via the phone line. (Don’t worry, this does not in any way interfere with your ability to use your telephone.) If you do NOT have a Bell Canada landline, you DO need a dry loop.
How much does a dry loop cost?
There is a $20 one time setup fee to set up the dry loop at your address, plus a monthly rate which is charged in addition to your DSL service. The monthly rate is determined by your “rate band,” or distance from the telephone company’s switching centre (called the Central Office). For most customers, the rate is $9.10/month.
How can I save on a Dry Loop?
Save on Dry Loop charges by upgrading to a SwitchWorks Internet + Home Phone bundle.
*All prices assume a Bell home phone is installed. If you do not have a Bell phone, an additional monthly charge will apply (for the dry loop). No contract required. Activation fee $50. One time purchase of modem required. Save by choosing a one year contract: activation fee waived, option to rent modem. See Terms and Conditions for full details.
