Hi all.

I'm asking this on behalf of my sister, and the person she is living with.

They are considering getting broadband, but we are unsure if a wiring/connection service is needed.

The area of uncertainty is the alarm system. This is a system that when triggered, it calls a relative and/or cell phone. It is not monitored by any company. Can we get away with ordering a connection only?

They are on a very tight budget, and so are wanting to minimize setup costs as much as possible. I doubt they will mind if performance isn't perfect - coming from dialup, any type of boradband is a huge step up.

Thanks
