They also have the lowest maximum speeds of any other major terrestrial broadband provider (i.e. cable). Technology-wise they're in decline. DOCSIS 3 will finish'm off

| Price reduction and speed increase to DSL Lite?
Sounds like a perfect plan for my Father-in-law. He currently has DSL lite for $25 a month. It would be nice if he got a speed increase and a price reduction at the same time. 
I will believe it when I see it though. |

DOCSIS 3 will finish'm off AT&T offers higher speeds than Embarq. At Embarq 5.0M is the highest speed tier available. When I first signed up with them (when it was Sprint) I was paying for 512kbps what AT&T (then SBC) customers where paying for 1.5M.

| Typical...
I knew when I clicked on this that the whiners here would turn this into something negative.
Hmmmm, $10 DSL? Free speed upgrades (triple the speed!) for existing customers on the "Lite" tier? The horror, the horror!
I guess some people just like being miserable...

All they will offer me is the 1.5 speed which has averaged 600-900 for over 2 years. |

Their POTS revenue is in the crapper. They are selling DSL at a loss. And they have no meaningful upgrade plan in place a la fios.
It's a house of cards that is only standing because
A) they have a lot of cash and
B) they have used that cash to buy a lot of lobbying and
C) They own the enviable "legacy" AT&T backbone and
D) have government and large enterprise contracts because of that enviable backbone and these contracts generate a lot of cash which allows them to steal market share by selling services at a loss, buy yet more lobbyists etc. etc. |

That was a separate condition that has to be rolled out before the end of the year. I also believe it is for around $20. |

They're better than Qwest, most people only have the option of 1.5Mbps.
Qwest is major, I wish AT&T would buy them. |

Re: It's not naked?
I don't look for it to be much less than $25 you have to add in the fees for it. Dry-Line DSL now by AT&T is actually more than ordering the phone line. NO savings at all. |

Wow, selling at a loss? I'd love to see where you got the misinformation from, because you are so incorrect about that. |
