I had 6 meg cable broadband that cost me $45/month and never used the bandwidth! I ordered AT&T's 768 "DSL Lite w/ term agreement" the day it became available. (term agreement is 12 months, with a $50 early termination fee) The $75 DSL modem/router & install kit came 3 days later. I used the DSL splitter in the self-install kit to separate voice and DSL lines outside at the customer interface, so I don't need to use DSL filters on the phones inside. I get about 650 down and 100 up. I plan on keeping this as long as it remains $10/month, which is at least through 12/31/2009. UPDATE: Price raised to $20 in early 2010 - still only 768KB. Will probably dump this for cable ($30/month for 6 months) or Clear WiMax ($40/month). UPDATE: Still using as of summer 2011. 1.5 down for $15/month. Rock solid reliable, but slow (looks like no one locally can get more than 1.5 down, probably because of U-Verse coming) UPDATE: Still using as of spring 2012. They still offer it for $15/month (up to 3MBps down) My line still only provisions for 1.5, but I'll keep it forever as long as I can get this price (it now looks like U-Verse will NEVER come to this area) UPDATE: Summer, 2014: Finally provisioned for 6MBps down, but the cost is $50/month! Unexpected outage last month of nearly a full week. Getting ready to switch over to 15MBPs down cable broadband ($35/month). UPDATE: March, 2015: 6MBps down for $50/month! Unexpected outage last month of nearly a full week. So I finally switched over to a 30MBPs down cable triple-play for the same amount I was paying for landline+DSL. member for 17.1 years, 2010 visits, last login: 268 days ago updated 9 years ago
