kudos:12 | Contracts Yep, they'll use this as an excuse to lock people into long term contracts. |

kudos:3 | SBC/ATT has typically not required contracts at all. If you do decide you want a contract then you get a lower monthly bill. That's how DSL has been for a while not sure in Bellsouth area. |

kudos:2 | On U-Verse services, there are NO long-term contracts. None. Nada.
This is one of the major draws to the service for me.
I have it and can say it is WORLDS better than the cable ISP I used to have ever was.

Right now the pricing is based on the month to month not the yearly term. It shows what a 6 month stint is and then the regular price.
Not sure how the monthly prices are so expensive. $35 gets you 6/768 if you are within in distance for ADSL.
As nklb stated U-Verse currently has no contracts what so ever which is nice. The price you see is what you get. I can't see them changing that anytime soon. |

I have the naked U-Verse VDSL, max 10Mbps/1.5, which was offered to me because my loop length is too far from the CO for regular ADSL. No contract. $55/month. I'm not sure how much lower the price would be with a contract. But it sure beats the $130/month I was paying for the 144kbps IDSL line that I used to have  |

U-Verse is the ONLY AT&T service which doesn't offer incentives for signing a contract and you don't think once it's rolled out to more locations they'll bump non contract pricing up and require contracts for the existing pricing?
You do realize we're talking about AT&T here right? |

U-Verse doesn't have contracts right now at all. The $55 you are paying is the same amount I am paying for that speed plus my TV service for U-Verse. My total bill is $120 for 10 meg internet, u300, 1 DVR and 1 STB. |

I'm not sure how much lower the price would be with a contract. As stated, there are no contracts. There's also no bundle discount any more, so having U-verse TV will not lower the $55 price for Max Internet. |

I never said they couldn't. For right now I don't see them doing it in the near future it would defeat the purpose of what they are trying to do against the cable companies. |

Contract on a landline system? It never happened, it never will. |
