| Biggest reason AT&T/Bellsouth is still charging more
I understand where most people are coming from on this subject. But most people are in the dark trying to nick-pick everything AT&T is doing. Even though Bellsouth has been bought for a year doesn't mean everything has been converted yet. The biggest reason AT&T/Bellsouth is still charging more is because they provide you more overhead speed on your downstream rate. For example with 3meg BST gives you 3550Kbps, as AT&T/SBC gives you just 3meg. That's why their 3meg runs slower than BST's. BST gives you 550Kbps overhead to give you an actual 3meg speed. And with 6meg they actually let you sync up at 8128Kbps and it really lets you surf over 6meg. So when you complain about the price, just think about that. But when they change the price, I can't promise they will change your speed. So the next time your complaining you will be complaining about your speed. Some people are never satisfied no matter what is going on. |

If you can't afford FastAccess DSL Xtreme 3.0 at $37.95 then you can always downgrade to FastAccess DSL Lite 768 at $19.95 and trade 2240Kbps for $18.00 a month. That would be even five more dollars that you could keep each month. |

Franklin, KY | What flavor would you like?
I will give you this much, I think Ultra needs to move down about $7.00, Xtreme 3.0 down about $5.00, and Xtreme 6.0 stays the same at $42.95 but sync at 8192/896 with with no speed shaping. |
