Re: Naked DSL 1.5M Available,$19.99 or 23.99, Chicago,
I'm tired of hearing about all the price wars between AT&T and Comcast. AT&T costing only $14.99/mo.
For over 4 years now I've been waiting for DSL to be available in my neighborhood. Seems to be that I'm located in a small hole between coverages and will require a remote box to be setup in my area. Something about being 15000 feet out of range. 
Now it seems more a case of supply and demand, and Comcast is starting to get a little crowded at peak times. Bad latency. |

| Have you looked into providers other than AT+T and Comcast?
Covad (DSL)
Embarq (DSL)
SpeakEasy (DSL)
Cyberonic (DSL)
Earthlink (DSL)
dslreports.com has a DSL service locater that can give you an idea of what DSL providers might be available to you.
Depending on where you live, you probably have access to one or more of those providers who may be able to get you DSL even when AT+T isn't willing to.
Check if you have access to these cable providers too:
WideOpenWest (wowway.com Cable)
RCN (Cable)
A smart thing to do if you haven't already is to post in the AT+T Direct forum. They sometimes are able to pull strings that the AT+T web site and the telephone reps can't. |

Chicago, IL | All the providers you have listed all depend on the same technology that AT&T use. The lines aren't configured to use DSL, and I live too far away from the main office. |
