text: is it possible to get dsl from another telephone company than the one you are with now? i have sprint but i want yahoo sbc dsl is this possible and if not what are my options.please! you absolutely can!  dsl is deregulated, meaning you can get your dsl service from any dsl provider in your area.  while some service providers have restrictions on their subscriptions (i.e. having to purchase your local phone service from them as well), it is illegal for your phone company to deny you dsl service from any other providers in your area, just like it is illegal for them to deny you local phone service from any other providers in your area.  there are several dsl providers nationwide (sbc, verizon, covad, pacbell (in california), etc.).  a quick search of yahoo gave the following:  http://dir.yahoo.com/business_and_economy/business_to_business/communications_and_networking/broadband/digital_subscriber_line__dsl_/  however, your options as to whom provides dsl in your area may be limited.  call around to find out who provides service in your area.
