Re: New users get att.net instead of bellsouth.net? So do these "att.net" customers get "att.net" prices?

| Probably not.. why would AT&T SE rip off their customers like that? While we do pay more, we also get more to make up for it |

You do understand that 'att.net' was originally used for AT&T Worldnet customers?
»www.usa.att.com/dsl/plans/index.jsp
Which are different from what at&t Yahoo! HSI customers ('sbcglobal.net') pay...
»www.att.com/gen/general?pid=6431
AT&T offers three different DSL services, depending upon whether you are in an area originally served by Bellsouth, SBC, or some other ILEC.

| Ex-GF has ATTW dial, and an 'att.net' email address. I have not been able to talk her into signing up for at&t Yahoo! HSI. There is a way for her to sign up and keep her ATTW email address.

AT&T "FastAccess DSL xtreme 6.0" 6mpbs down / 512kbs up $42.95/month+ $75 for a modem
I don't get what is the benefit of "FastAccess DSL" is it that you get more mailboxes on a shitty mailserver? Or more access to throttled newsgroups with no binary retention? Or the Norton Security Suite (I'm trying to pay an INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER for INTERNET SERVICE not a security suite provider for a security suite or a email box provider for an email box)

| BSFA Benefits:
- HomeNetworking Plus is free, free wireless gateway after rebate, or a free modem after rebate if you'd rather not have it
- Free single Static IP
- Free AT&T Security (which is not Norton... it sucks alot less than Norton)
- Download speeds are a bit faster thanks to MaxSync, and the fact that we're throttled at 6500 Kbps or so instead of syncing at 6.0 Mbps (and losing some speed due to overhead).
We do get more mailboxes and stuff, but that doesn't really affect me. We also get more local support |

I do have "at&t Yahoo! HSI Pro". It is only $30 a month, and only 3008kbps down/512kbps up.
But there is an "at&t Yahoo! HSI Elite" package: 6016kbps down/768kbps up, for $35 a month.
