Re: I got a letter from AT&T. said by x30n_:said by MarkyD:What I should have said is this. If you have FTTP, but NO UVERSE, you ARE required to carry a land line. Period, end of story. Then may I ask what services are you using the fiber for? I did have 6/1 PPPoE internet over the fiber, as well as a phone line (which I did not even use, but was required.)
I also bundled Dish network through AT&T, however, that was obviously not carried over fiber.
If AT&T offered UVERSE in my fiber area, I'd have tried it out. |

Thank you, now I understand your compliant...
Maybe the landline was needed for dish because it needed an analog signal. I only say that as I have experienced issues with faxes being send over a digital line and maybe it is a requirement for dish.

It's pretty widely known that the FTTP product (non uverse) requires a phone line - it wasn't just the rep I got. Several others here have complained about the exact same thing. |

wrong turn | gotha, well looking more into it maybe I really have HFC or FTTC even though it was brought to the premises just because its fed throughout the house via coaxial(last mile delivery?).
But then again I am not sure how it would be really fed though the house and if what I really have is HFC or FTTP.

Several others here have complained about the exact same thing. That just blows. Its like paying to have DSL with POTS tied to it. The only thing is that FTTH is obviously WAAY better, and you shouldn't have to put up with the old POTS style mentality 'just because' AT&T uses different (better) medium to transfer its data, and wants to cash in as if it was old school twisted pair. I'd drop them and find a different (cable/wireless) solution.
