Re: when was the last increase? said by nanananana ynon :
I'd like to know when was the last increase on wholesale loop charges. Copper has quadrupled in price over the last 5 years. Don't see anyone mentioning that.
Cmon! Their copper is DECADES old! THAT excuse holds about a mm of water!
This is 100% GREED on AT&T's part! They can SQUEEZE, so they DO!
Besides, I already PAY AT&T for that line every month! It's called TELEPHONE SERVICE!
Thanks to the FCC, the 'last mile' wiring is an UNREGULATED monopoly! |

Valencia, CA | Its corp America... lets get you for every cent that we can... and then find new ways to make more money by attempting to squeeze blood from a stone.
The phone lines and CO's have been paid for by tax payers for a long time.
Time Warner must be noticing this, and is offering me a decent deal:
Internet Only: 6Mbps/512kbps = $39.95, 10Mbps/1Mbps = $49.95 and of course, basic 1.5Mbps = $29.95
Phone/HSI bundled 6Mbps = $69.95.
I may be jumping off DSL-Extreme soon  as I'll be forced to $34.95 for 3Mbps/512kbps from $24.95/month unless I sign a year contract.

said by qworster:Cmon! Their copper is DECADES old! THAT excuse holds about a mm of water! Not around here. They replaced my drop when we had problems on the voice line. More recently, they replaced the F2 from the cross-connect box. I'd say the copper around here is more like mere months old. I'd also say that is probably true for most of the locales where AT&T is rolling out Uverse.
