| Dry vs. Land-Line DSL Cost Comparers Might Have Forgot....
"A nickel here, a dime there" |
I have the absolutely least expensive non-subsidized landline that will qualify me for DSL...
It's quoted monthly charges are $5.70/month
BUT WAIT!
As documented above, "taxes", et.al., bloat the actual amount I fork over for it each month to more than double that amount -- $11.82
Anyone have a "Dry" connection from their telco out there? How much the below is tacked on to your $6 or $10.00 you pay each month.. "I showed you mine, now you show me yours!"

kudos:1 | nobody calls it "naked" DSL,
it's called a "dry loop" DSL.
Verizon does 3mbit for $40/mo
and you can then port your old
local number to your cell phone. |

Does this mean ATT is living up to their FCC deal to offer dry line now? |

How did you manage to get $3.00 for long distance? In one year, mine started out at $11.00 and went up to $22.00. And beginning with the may/april bill, AT$T added a line delivery charge of almost $2.00. AT&T is adding all kinds of charges to the bill. My total bill - local, long distance, internet plus all those taxes and fees - comes to $76.00 a month.
