It is not necessary to drill a hole in your wall if you purchase DSL
service. The DSL signal uses the standard wall jacks and phone-lines
already in your house or apartment. In addition, you will be able to
surf the Internet at the same time you use the telephone.

In addition, most DSL providers are offering free installation, free
DSL modems, and very low monthly charges.
Those that don't offer free DSL modems usually charge a very small
monthy rental ($3-$5/mo). They are in a fierce competition with the
Cable providers for customers right now.

The advantage of paying a monthly rental is that the DSL provider
won't charge you for servicing the DSL modem, and will replace for
free a defective or malfunctioning DSL modem, including all shipping
charges, both to you, and from you.

Most telephone companies offer DSL services very reasonably priced.

What REALLY necessary for you to receive DSL service is to be within
10,000-18,000 feet from the NOC (Network Operating Center) of the
phone company.

Well, just go into Network Connection and disable it, since you don't
need it (and under your circumstances, you never will need it.)
