| $15 dsl with forced bundling The cheapest you can get dsl for is $55 per month because they require you to get a phone line and then you have to sign up for 3 features on the calling plan plus long distance + taxes + muni fees etc. So I've always objected to them advertising $15 dsl. That doesn't exist.
Great research though. Thanks for putting it together. |

not true ! round these parts any way. my grandmother has verizon dsl for $15 and pays $13 for local only line, doesn't require anything else.
I ordered it for her about 9 months ago, so I should know the price.

1 edit | No interstate subscriber line charge? Here that is $6 on top of the $10 basic POTS line. Plus USF, plus 9-1-1 and a few other smaller fees. Here the cheapest Verizon line is about $20 after all the fees and taxes.

Here the cheapest Verizon line is about $20 after all the fees and taxes. That sounds like a bargain to me. Here its over $40 for basic dial tone! Of course I (grudgingly) have a POTS line in addition to my VoIP line, but some markets (like mine) are a total rip off.

Not entirely true. With ATT you no longer have to sign up for 3 features on your calling plan plus long distance. I have Express DSL with no long distance, I use my cell phone, and just a phone line. |

It is not the cheapest plan, there are two less expensive but I only know what mine costs. Verizon gets $14.95 and those that slop at the public trough get $3.43 nearly %20 tax.
Flat Rate Service $8.45
Federal Subscriber Line Charge $6.50
Federal Universal Service Fee $0.76
Federal excise tax $0.23
State tax $0.63
E911 tax $1.80
Total of $18.37 |

You are the exception. One of the provisions of the merger between SBC and BellSouth was that they had to start offering "naked dsl" which is dsl without a phone line. They never did. 2 years later in January 07 one of the provisions to allow AT&T and SBC to merge was that they were required to offer naked dsl...yet again.
Your the first person I've heard of who has gotten it. Here's some posts from people wanting it and not being able to get it:

| said by wifi4milez:WOW thats cheap. Maybe I should consider moving to NJ! If people would look at their bill they will see most of what makes POST expensive they don't need or have to get. POTS is not bundled. As I stated I have 1FR service, the most expensive POTS in one of the most expensive states. |
