Re: Is anyone besides me...
said by Rick  :Instead of trying to force them down peoples throats anymore..they should let their lower tier DSL serve as the replacement for those revenues. AT&T is doing what their doing because they think their a telephone company, telephone service first, DSL service second. Right now even when they do offer "naked" DSL they charge almost as much as if you have POTS service + DSL.
Rick, your question is a good one but think about it. They get to milk money from BOTH the telephone service AND the DSL service verses from just the DSL service. From a business stand point it makes sense. When I renewed my service with the SNET->SBC->AT&T monster back in August, I asked several CS reps about "naked" DSL (or DSL without the phone service), not one of them knew what I was talking about. One even asked my WHY I would want just DSL without phone service. That is how they think. Phone first, DSL second.
I am NOT a telco shill, I hate AT&T with a passion. I even dumped their long distance service when I got DSL service with SBC, Then SBC goes and changes their name to AT&T when they bought them out.  |
