| What? Ok, I am lost. He said it ($10 dsl) isn't advertised because customers don't want it. Can someone explain this comment? So if the Gen Motors was unloading leftover 2006 Corvettes for $1000, they would not advertise because we supposedly would not want it. How do you know we don't want it if we don't know about it? |

| THEY (AT&T) doesn't want YOU to know about it. The only way I found out about it AND a link to it ( almost IMPOSSIBLE to find it on their site). I had a dial-up acct and use my computer at work until they decided to charge $15 dollars for it-so I decided to go the $10 DSL route. |

768K DSL is hardly a Corvette. If GM was unloading leftover Chevy Aveos for $1000, I'd save my $1000. |

Customer Service Mr. CEO! -- why the hell reinvent the wheel! -- its not rocket science --consumers know service cost money -- and they are willing to pay for it...but rarely does a company DELIVER IT!
Bottom line -- Consumers want value for their money -- a product that does what is says it will do - and customer service to address the issues that arise with utilizing the service. PERIOD. Yes -- company needs to make money -- but here is the thing.
Seems there are few companies who get the mix right. No matter what the price point is...$10.00 or $100.00 -- PROFIT still gets the biggest piece of the pie. The advertisements say "we are doing all of this for you joe consumer" ...but come on the truth is " you are really doing this for yourselves, Joe and Jane Business Owners". |

Seriously, you had a broken down piece of crap Yugo (dialup) and wanted something newer and better but didn't want to spend a lot on it. $10, 768kbps DSL makes perfect sense.
For you it probably wouldn't since you probably have used faster products.

Ok I got carried away, online education is expensive so u don't have a lot of extra cash lying around. For extra 3 bucks I can move up to 768dsl. So you would keep the 1977 Chevette (aka dial-up) instead of moving up to a $1k Aveo (768 Dsl) if you knew about it. |
