Have had ATT DSL service for 20+ years, in Far North Dallas. Though in the mid 1990's it would frequently go out, I cannot remember the last time it EVER went out in the last 9+ years. Public IP addresses change once every few months. About 5 years ago, Upgraded to their "Elite" service (6M down/1M up) for $39.99/month. I never got close to 6M down, but the 3M down/1M up seemed to satisfy my needs. Lately, since 2013, I noticed my speeds getting slower and slower (800K down/80K up at midnight); I called ATT and they told me they are no longer supporting DSL speed issues and they recommend that all their DSL users change to UVerse. I asked the rep about UVerse. They could get me 12Mb/s download speed, and home phone for $69.99/month. BUT...THE HOME PHONE IS METERED....THEY ONLY ALLOW YOU 200 MINUTES/MONTH ! I asked her to verify that they're going to METER my HOME PHONE??? I told her my CELL Phone is UNLIMITED!! I asked her how much the overage charges are for minutes in excess of 200 min/month: 7 cents/minute !! I told her "Thank you for 20 years of service, but TWC will offer me 15 Mb/s internet and home phone for $54.99/month. Install is next week. We'll see how it goes.
