Re: cablemodem time

Most cable companies also charge more for cable internet without cable TV service.
Yes, but cable internet without cable doesn't cost MORE than if you had cable AND internet. Which is the problem with this naked DSL stuff. For example for 3 Mbps with Charter without cable it's $52 a month with cable it's $42 but add in cable TV and you're talking another $50 so that's over $90 to have cable and internet. Obviously if you have a dish then it's cheaper just to pay the extra $10.

So if AT&T wants to charge more for those that don't bundle I understand that almost of companies do that. Making that service HIGHER than having 2 or more services is crazy. I really don't get it. If you aren't going to use the phone anyways why bother forcing customers to have it? AT&T doesn't make more money they make less if people decide to say "screw it" to the naked DSL and just get a phoneline they'll never use.

Does at&t think that those people will stop using their VoIP or cell phones which have unlimited long distance and all of sudden use at&t's long distance just because they have a phoneline connected to their house? They must and they must also be very stupid to think such a way.

mmmm, i think you got that wrong,,,ATT makes pure profit on pots,,,they loose a ton on cheap DSL pricing,,but then they offer cheap DSL to bring in the real money maker, which is POTS service, with added long distance pay per month plans, on top of the cid, cwid, etc.

which costs them maybe .10 cents a month to provide its customers per month, with the avg bill of $37.00 a month they charge for POTS from ATT, now that is profit.

DSL they loose money on every customer, a customer needs to stay on DSL for a min. of 2 years before they recoupe there loses.
