"They don't offer naked DSL"
"They charge more for naked DSL"
"They give people who buy multiple products a discount"
Why is this so surprising to all of you that AT&T would give a discount if you buy more than one product? |

North Andover, MA | I believe the complaints come when the bundled price + discount = price of just 1 of the bundled services. This, in effect, is service dumping in order to drive competition from your market with "forced bundling". It's illegal in manufacturering, but not for govt. sponsered service providers, apparently. |

Because this is America and when you look around the world and you see countries with faster and cheaper broadband service it makes you angry.
We invented the internet and yet we are falling behind. We should have the best internet service period. |

Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment, why would people complain when they receive a discount for bundling services?said by Ahrenl:It's illegal in manufacturering, but not for govt. sponsered service providers, apparently. What govt sponsored service provider are you speaking about? |

People are complaining because they don't WANT both services, but the cost to have only the one they want (ie. the useful one) is the same as both. Therefore destroying market competition through service dumping..
Those would be the one's with the exclusive ROW access on which their revenue generating assets are placed. |
