Well, according to BellSouth's mailings and website, my address (and the
old phone number) qualify for FastAccess DSL. This is a considerably
faster and nicer (and cheaper!!!) DSL service. Unfortunately I've
discovered that you cannot order FastAccess DSL from Bellsouth without
having actual services of some kind from BellSouth. The sales reps were
actually quite suprised to hear that I had any kind of DSL at all without
having an actual "working" (their definition of working is apparently that
I have to have a phone number from them and be paying their outrageous
prices for services) phone line.

I encountered the same Catch-22 from Verizon in Durham. It's a question of policy, not technology. Legacy policy and tunnel vision.
