On their pricing page for "Network 1", which I believe is LA/SF/SD SBC areas, I'm seeing this for the dynamic, 1 yr contract plans:
Lowest DSL Price in the USA! 384-1500 / 128-384 kbps Starting At: $12.95

High Speed, Super Low Price! 1500-3000 / 384-512 kbps Starting At: $17.95

Limited Time Offer! 1500-6000 / 384-608 kbps Starting At: $49.95

Basics:
DSLX: $12.95 for 1.5/384 - promo rate no long distance required
AT&T: $12.99 for 1.5/384 - promo rate
AT&T: $14.99 for 1.5/384 local+ld bundle]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15819761 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 16:11:55 EDT Re: dslextreme vs sbc? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15819751 Matt :

From what I've seen in the forum, DSLX pricing is no longer cheaper. It's a few bucks more. There's been some people bitching about it recently.

Which do you want: better support or a cheaper price? It's up to you.
Perhaps it's because I'm in Bellsouth territory, but their 768Kbps/128Kbps package is $39.99 a month for me. They must be going through Covad to re-sell service to me or something. I can get Earthlink over RoadRunner at 5Mbps/384Kbps for $41.95.

I have tried to see things from your point of view, but no matter how hard I try, or what I do, I just can't get my head that far up my ass.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15819751 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 16:10:27 EDT Re: dslextreme vs sbc? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15818877 oliphant : Plus it depends on the plan. In my case (Verizon) when looking at static IP or higher speed plans, DSLx continues to be cheaper or offers what VZ won't. My plan is less than 1/2 the price of VZ, plus I get more static IPs.

For DSLX: Customer service, local tech support, not bundled with AT&T/SBC crud, DHCP vs. PPPoE, and you don't have to bundle long distance to do it.

For AT&T/SBC: They own the lines, and local line support (doesn't mean much). Yahoo multimedia bundles. AT&T/SBC has deep pockets and millions of subs (= $$$)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15818592 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 13:15:08 EDT dslextreme vs sbc? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15818356 lemonade : i used to recommend dslextreme to my friends if they ask for my advice, simply because dslextreme is cheaper than SBC, actually only a few bucks... but right now with SBC/ATT's aggressive pricing scheme, i am not sure any more... any comment?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15818356 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 12:37:57 EDT
