I told my cousin about that offer yesterday. He called and At&t told him the exact same thing (for bell south only). Is this official or are they breaking the law here somehow? |

| They're probably not breaking the law. This is probably exactly why there hasn't been an official announcement yet -- because obviously even AT&T doesn't know the details of their own offers. From what I read of the original article, it sounds to me like AT&T was required to offer this promo as a result of their BellSouth acquisition... maybe they were only required to extend it to former BellSouth customers. |

check out the bellsouth DSL page - the lowest tier they offer (768k/128k) is currently "limited time offer!" for $19.95 ("regular" price was $24.95). I think when I checked this out for my dad (they live in bellsouth territory), you have to be a new customer and sign up for a year contract to get this "limited time offer!" special price.
It seems they are trying to lock in as many new customers as possible at twice the $10 rate before people know there is a $10 rate.
They will acknowledge the $10 rate if you ask (I asked thru an online chat rep), but only the $19.95 rate is advertised on the web page. |

I think the reason they haven't made an announcement should be obvious.
Edit: Apparently it isn't so obvious, judging from replies.... |

How is pointing to the webform confirmation? I remember reading that it was only required as a merger condition in the Bellsouh region. I'll have to dig that up. |

I think the reason they haven't made an announcement should be obvious. And anyone want to give odds on how often someone won't be able to get DSL at all because their CO doesn't have enough equipment on hand with no plans to add more??

Please dig up your article link.

Its actually pretty rare to have a full CO/RT. |

Just got in, so I haven't had time to find that reference. I could be wrong, but I'll try to dig it up.

This cannot be true because I am a former Bellsouth customer and they would not let me sign up for it. They told me I would have to keep on paying 24.99/mo for the lite service and that the 10.00/mo service was only being offered to NEW customers. I then asked about having mine cut off and cut back on and they told me that would be a 60 day process. RIGHT! |

The Terms state you must not have *any* AT&T/Bellsouth/SBC Broadband for the previous 12 months. Not 60 Days. It is only for new customers, not existing people. Read the details. Thank the FCC.
