DSL lite is 768 down.
Yes, we need to make sure everyone knows about the $10 plan. I have my in-laws on it as of last week. It is great now that we can actually call them without a busy signal. |

Former Bellsouth customers still get screwed by being charged almost $8 more for less upload speed. I am sure they will be taking their sweet ass time making those changes so they are even across all areas.

| Is anyone besides me...
eyes glazing over trying to decipher this endless price games crap being thrown out..primarily by the telco industry? (although I don't totally absolve the cable co's either).
Why..can't someone just say..I want 1500k dsl..no landlines..no nothing..and get it for a reasonable price?
Or..768k.
Or..3,000k.
Or..whatever.
It seems to me that telco is missing out on a HUGE opportunity to REALLY do something to stem the loss of revenues from their mind blowing loss of landlines.
Instead of trying to force them down peoples throats anymore..they should let their lower tier DSL serve as the replacement for those revenues.
Telco OWNS the lower speed HSI market..and simply doesn't further capitalize on it by simply saying if you want 1500k dsl for 20.00 a month..Here..you can have it.
That is a TOTAL replacement for those lost landline revenues...and you get to keep the customers.
People who might otherwise sign up for that many times go to cable Hsi because there is one thing they CAN do..and that is to add.
And, when you add the landline that they don't want..PLUS the lower cost dsl..you just might as well pay 42.95 a month to comcast to get the kinds of speeds we get.
While I guess there is some give on telco's part in certain areas, just way too much of this is way too secretive, and depends on who you call and at what time.
Honestly, I read through these telco forums here at BBR and wonder how some people have the time to do all the negotiating they need to with these companies to get a deal.
And, Lord help them when the specials end.
It's off to the races for Ma Bell.
Listen up Telco's.
768k unbundled..no landline..totally naked..15 to 20 a month
1500k to 3,000k..24.95.
Forget the games. The shenanigans...you'll have a really big winner on your hands..
and will make up for all your lost landline customers fleeing you like passengers off the decks of the titanic.

1 edit | yes, where are the shills now
i've made numerous critical posts about AT&T/BELLSOUTH's inability to standardize their prices with the rest of the company. everyone said "give it time. it takes time to make this change, etc". well, it's now clear that AT&T/BS has no intention of standardizing the speeds or prices.
AT&T/BellSouth just gave the finger to it's customers.

That's what I'm wondering... can I switch from the BellSouth $32.95 per month to the AT&T $19.95 per month plans that both offer the same up and down speeds? |

Re: Is anyone besides me...
$20 per month is not a replacement for all the landline revenue. There is still the FCC subscriber line charge, the other surcharges, and the reciprocal comp for whenever someone calls the customer on that landline. In most telcos the reciprocal comp brings in more $$ than the dialtone. |

said by Rick :Instead of trying to force them down peoples throats anymore..they should let their lower tier DSL serve as the replacement for those revenues. AT&T is doing what their doing because they think their a telephone company, telephone service first, DSL service second. Right now even when they do offer "naked" DSL they charge almost as much as if you have POTS service + DSL.
Rick, your question is a good one but think about it. They get to milk money from BOTH the telephone service AND the DSL service verses from just the DSL service. From a business stand point it makes sense. When I renewed my service with the SNET->SBC->AT&T monster back in August, I asked several CS reps about "naked" DSL (or DSL without the phone service), not one of them knew what I was talking about. One even asked my WHY I would want just DSL without phone service. That is how they think. Phone first, DSL second.
I am NOT a telco shill, I hate AT&T with a passion. I even dumped their long distance service when I got DSL service with SBC, Then SBC goes and changes their name to AT&T when they bought them out.  |
