I've been waiting to hear more "official" news on this ever since one of the ASI/SBC techs mentioned it in a comment on another story.

1 edit | I think that in California, they don't have much choice.
Check out their competition - DSL extreme is offering that for the same price - SBC requires LD bundling to get their prices

I can get (and probably will get) their 6000/608 with 5 static IP's for $59.99 |

They better get it right this time. RT users (Expert - 1.5/128) are still on 160kbps sync rate, while CO customers are on 256.
And they were suppose to give the upload increase by the end of the 2nd quarter.

Yea...good for us folk running servers.
SBC's most BASIC static IP package runs $55 a month for 300/128 & 5 static IPs...for an extra $5, DSL Extreme puts you on 6000/608 over SBC's own lines!
I'm guessing SBC doesn't want any static IP customers! |

You must know that DSLextreme is a reseller SBC and Verizon? So, this is a hint ... If DSL extreme going to have that plan, SBC will also have a similar priced plan.
BUT, beware of SBC static IPs, they're sticky IP, not real static.

Well it seems if you people on Expert rerate/resign they suddenly get the 256 upload. I have seen a few people here in IL get the 256 up without doing a thing and others still on the 128 upload. |

@rr.com | BIG DEAL!
My Broadband cable company has been providing higher than that for over a year now!
It's easy for DSL customers to get overly excited about nothing, because they have done with so little for so long.
NO BIG DEAL! |

I run an internet radio broadcast, and this will help big time. And when I run about it I thought I saw in the "coming years" and not the "coming months". Rock on SBC!

| Right now I am stuck on 1500/256
I would buy more bandwidth, but I am on a CO and am stuck with what I can get. Don't get me wrong, the $27 a month price point is awesome and I love my DSL. I just wish I could get more bandwidth.
Maybe I will be able to get 384k upstream with the basic plan!

Re: Awesome!
Wow that's AWESOME! If you're in California. Unfortunately 2/3rd's (roughly?) of SBC's customers aren't in Cali so that doesn't help us

Re: BIG DEAL!
Yeah, but it's still cable. Try using that upload for a while and see if they send you a little "no-no gram."

Re: Awesome!
Yeah yeah yeah... In Connecticut we've learned that SBC announcing availabilty means we won't get it. We've been told of this since the beginning of the yr, and a lot of folks, esp on RT are STILL stuck @ 128up.
O.
Please dont get me started. |

Oh dear Lord!
Now remember these dates all you eager SBC subscribers.
Sept 22, 2004 The Fall Equinox begins.
Dec. 22, 2004 The Winter Solstice.
Now I am sorry to be bumming out everyone who is enjoying Summer 2004, but this means the speed U/G can take place any time between 9/22 thru 12/21.
It's really stupid of me to think that this may avoid some of the "Hey I Got The New U/L Speed" posts in the SBC forum.
But here comes the BS the likes that has been flung in the Verizon Forum.
Have fun! |

You may be shocked to learn that some already have the upgrade.
But that would spoil your rant.

| Already have it?
I think I already got this upgrade. I thought it was part of my 3mbit upgrade, but it seems not from this, as well as the phone call from ASI this morning saying they're "fixing" my upload speed. I was at 256 up (for the 1.5mbit plan), so I don't really know what's going on at this point. |
