:I thought there was some FCC ruling or something that prohibited additional charges simply on the basis that you didn't have phone service? Am I totally thinking of something else...?
And second of all, the merger terms are disgusting. They needed 12 months to unroll naked DSL? BS, you could unroll that in 24 hours after the merger.
Finally, it's ridiculous that the price of the current "hidden" 768kpbs is $10 with phone service, and the naked tier they're planning to roll out is $20/month. Double the price!?
Crooks.
A warning against setting up a dsl line just so you can do an end-run around getting phone service from them.. they double your price to make there less of an incentive. However.. there's nothing saying you couldn't subscribe to a cablemodem for another $20 and have bandwidth to spare with some QOS under their competitor.
