Hello,
Is it possible to get a broadband connection from Telecom but without a phone line at all? I want to use 2talk's services since I have an ATA.

Thanks.

Telecom don't provide Naked DSL services.

Try looking here for Naked DSL services.

So I'm stuck with telecom's phone line?Anyway, the adventure plan (20gb) + phone line = ~ 110$ is cheaper than any naked dsl plan for the same amount of GB.
They say on their website that if you don't have local calling the adventure plan is 10$ extra but that means you must have local calling with someone else?

You must have your toll calling with Telecom to recieve the $10 discount (or use the prices they list on their website), local calling is free with the phone line. If you had your toll calls with another provider you would pay an exra $10 per month.

I see. Is there an option not to have any toll calls at all? I don't need a local phone line, all I want is the broadband ;)

Just don't make toll calls and you don't get charged anything (other than the regualr monthly charge)

Yes, but 45$/month for a service that I don't use it's a little expensive ;)

True, but its either that or Naked DSL at the moment unfortunately. You could always look into a Wireless option like Telecom/Vodafone or something like Woosh?
