I personally use a second phone line for my modem, but only because the other line has to be available for business calls. It's not that I can't justify the expense for a cable modem or a DSL line, its that I can't justify the need. Unless you spend hours online every day downloading music files or videos what possible function is served by them? Opening a web page a bit faster, I guess, if you spend a lot of time sufing the web, but I don't, and from what I've seen, the difference in speed in web surfing is not usually all it's cracked up to be. The real estate company I'm associated with has DSL in all of it's offices, but I can't open the MLS web pages much faster from there than I can at home. The delay seems to be either in the distant server or in the internet itself, not in my access line to the ISP.
