Their digital phone service also uses the cable network (not Verizon).
  The difference
is that the older services isn't VOIP (not Internet based in any way).
 It's some kind
of older technology which uses subsection of the frequency spectrum on the cable
for phone service.  I don't think it's available for new installs
anymore so it's probably
not relevant in this situation.
