I upgraded to cantennas and I dont pay anything other than the initial investment for a tin can. And I get over 3Mb DL rate too. Although the upload rate really sucks at like 350Kb. Maybe I'll get off my duff and complain sometime.  ))))) |

»bellsouth.com/consumer/inetsrvcs/index.html
DSL Lite $24.95 - 256 Kbps/128 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
DSL Ultra $32.95 - 1.5 Mbps/256 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
DSL Xtreme $37.95 - 3 Mbps/384 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
DSL Xtreme 6.0 $42.95 - 6 Mbps/512 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
Former SBC areas are much more competitive.

| Relax...As much as you hate ATT, its just not as simple to go changing rates at the flip of a hat. Bellsouth has a completely different billing system/ordering system, then ATT does that has to be rewritten, and checked before distributed for use. The merger just completed the first of the year. Give them some time to absorb Bellsouth geeze.. |

It really doesnt matter if I have permission or not. The ISPs cant make a buck when a paying customer decides to share what he has paid for. So ISPs will still call it stealing and wimper and jump up and down to try and put a stop to it. But since network companies and hakers invented NAT for cheap routers, there isnt much those ISP mogals can do about it. The will of the people is wireless good will to their fellow man. Thats why there are so many open wireless hotspots. I love this universe. |

you're saying that AT&T prepared their new marketing campaign (the biggest in history, i believe) that incorporates rebranding all the pieces in AT&T's puzzle, but we're suppose to believe that they can't handle changing the existing more expensive BellSouth rates to the less expensive AT&T rates in a timely manner?
not buying it. they could have prepared for this in advance, just like they did with marketing. AT&T just didn't want to do that. it boils down to money and how they love it more than their children.
knowing AT&T, i believe that the BellSouth rates are what will be pushed on the rest of the country. more revenue, delievered to stockholders! |

USA | If it were about a price increase you know AT&T would have figured out how to get it done yesterday. |
