Re: [Services] New August 1st Bundles... Thank you, that chart helps out a lot though it may have to be tweaked a little once you get more feedback from members here and if anyone here from AT&T Southeast decides to chime in and clarify things a bit.
I have what I call "The BellSouth Everything and the Kitchen Sink Plan" and I could stand to save a few dollars. There is one nice thing about having everything that AT&T Southeast/BellSouth offers, you will never get a telemarketing call from them asking if you want to upgrade your plan because there is nothing left to sell you, and that might be worth the extra money I spend every month.
I had a friend ask me once "Man, does BellSouth call you all the time trying to sell you something or get you to upgrade, because they call me all the time and bug me to death." and I said "No, they never call me, but I have got a secret." and I didn't say anything else, then he looked at me and said "OK, what is your secret?" and I said "It's really simple just buy everything they have and they will never call you again because it would be a waste of their time." I don't think he liked that answer.
I looked around for information on BUN66 and I found this site »cpr.bellsouth.com/ and it appears like BUN65 and BUN66 is only available to customers in Florida.
It appeared to me that the $50 2-Pack, Unlimited LD and DSL 1.5 (BUN 65)(»cpr.bellsouth.com/pdf/fl/filings···-134.pdf) was only available to customers in Florida that they stole from competitors (Competitive Acquisition Customers)
It also appeared that the $60 2-Pack, Unlimited LD and DSL 1.5 (BUN 66) (»cpr.bellsouth.com/pdf/fl/filings···-135.pdf) was only available to customers in Florida that were contemplating leaving for a competitor (Saves and Vulnerable Customers).
So you called them up and they said that BUN66 is available to all AT&T Southeast/BellSouth customers?
I have the Complete Choice Plan(Local Calling) @ $34.50 with the optional Voice Mail Residential Premium Mailbox @ $4.95, and the Unlimited Plan(Long Distance) @ $25.49, and FastAccess DSL Xtreme 6.0 which I still pay $46.95 for because calling them up and changing it is not worth $4.00 on the off chance that they will screw it up and I will came home to find a Payphone on my front porch and have dial-up internet. I also have three Cingular cell-phones on a family talk plan and DirecTV, and I would like to combine all of that together in one bundle, but I heard about some of these new bundles and I wanted to wait and do it all with one call and see if I could save some money at the same time.
If anyone at AT&T Southeast/Bellsouth is reading this would it be to much to ask, from a customer that spends several hundred dollars a month with you, for a little bit extra FastAccess loving, like say change my MaxSync to 8128/896 and make my Radius server profile go away so I won't be throttled to 6500/437, because I would like to get me some 7100/768 throughput.
Also I would never be interested in getting tv from you, but I would pay $95.00 to $120.00 for some ADSL2+M 24Mbps/3.5Mbps with multi-static IP and letting me have a small game server and a small non-commercial personal web-server. | | |

| I called and gave information for a few different states; I live in LA. Some states such as MS and KY do not require tariffs to be filed on bundle packages, this happens due to deregulation that has taken place over the past several years.
BST likes to say it gives them a more competitive chance to introduce pricing to the market when competitors come out with something cheaper. Yet NC and TN CompleteChoice and PreferredPack customers saw the first rate increases of the merger.
The 7 or so good reps I got confirmed these are region-wide.
i.e. I gave an Address in Nashville, TN and was able to get BUN66.
i.e. My home address in LA, I can get BUN65 if I change from BUN97 to add the voice products.
It took a lil' squeezing, their jobs are to sell CC, ISW, EMP, BSVM, the whole works, but after demanding better pricing and saying I know there is something cheaper you can get to the bottom of things.
As an example of state that does require tariffed filing for LD Plans. BSLD Inc d/b/a AT&T LD Svc Tariffs in Alabama as of Aug 16th, the AT&T Triple Choice, Nationwide Value, and Nationwide Savings plans are listed with a description of the bundles necessary. Under pages 109.1~3 & also For NC : Under pages 104.1~3
