In order for line related services like High Speed Adsl to work, a phone line that has been specifically programmed for this service, and an attached ADSL Modem are required. If both components are not used together then the service will not work. The ADSL Modem is therefore not portable outside your home if the phone line that you would like to connect it to does not already have the High Speed Adsl service enabled.

The ADSL Modem does not have the ability to dial into an Internet Service Provider (ISP) like a regular modem does.
