Re: best value?
Exactly. Back almost 3 years ago when I was looking for non-cable broadband I went with Speakeasy because they didn't require a voice line. At the time it was $6/mo extra for a "dry" line but that's alot cheaper than $30+/mo. |

That may be, but the customer is the one who should be making this determination, not the seller of the service. This is typical monopoly-speak by AT$T... we know whats good for you, you will buy our DSL and you will also buy a phone service to go with it, we dont want people to realize that land lines really are outdated and useless for most consumers and a way we can gouge all of you a whole lot more that you want us to. |

said by swhitney2003  :"a way to let customers know that buying several services at the same time is always the best value." May not be better value if a customer does not need said other service.... If they didn't jack up the price of the "naked" service, that would be true. But when you can get DSL+basic phone for less than DSL alone, they are correct in stating that multiple services is the best value, even if you never use the phone line.

I have a cell phone, and it serves as a primary number for me. If I want DSL I shouldn't have to purchase a phone service also to get a cheaper rate. I won't benefit from the 'value' of this added service. |
