Re: O'Fallon, IL Area
said by ILpt4U  :Worldnet is the dial-up service, yes? You would have to do some research, but I think U-Verse comes with dial-up support, for when you are traveling, or as a back-up should U-Verse go down (though that is very unlikely on a FTTP connection). So perhaps you would be able to dump Worldnet all together? Again, you would have to research this, but I think this is the case. Regular AT&T ADSL includes Dial-Up Access, so I would expect U-Verse Internet does as well. Yeah, you do get dial-up access with U-verse.
I've had Worldnet since early 1999, and at the $6 option for years now, just in order to keep my email addresses alive. I suppose I could look into having them migrated to our U-verse account, making them "free"...

said by ILpt4U :Another fringe benefit of AT&T Internet services (U-Verse Internet and ADSL) is that if you are at Pro service tier or higher (the 3 Mbps down plan or higher), you also get access to AT&T WiFi Hotspots included (Starbucks and McDonalds, usually, among others). Yes, that is a very cool perk. Another reason to NEVER leave the wireless card behind!
