Not Insight.
With Insight Columbus you pay at least $8 more for RR if you don't have at least Classic tier cable (used to be $10 more, they gave a $10 bundle discount which has recently dropped to $8, so RR effectively went up $2). That's $47 plus cable costs for 7/512 or $35 + POTS costs (about $20 here) for 6/768 DSL. At my location, both are stable and I haven't run into any throttling so far.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20985116 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:38:11 EDT Re: They just raised the price too... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20985093 said by en102:

Yeah - it was raised from $25/month to $30/month
Didn't dry loop used to be only $5 more than linehare? (I'd swear at the time elite was listed as $39.99 for dry loop and I was considering adding a 2nd Eite connection dry on my 2nd pair.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20985093 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:33:46 EDT Re: They just raised the price too... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20984716 said by insomniac84:

Do cable companies have contracts? I thought those were limited to the sat-cos
Yes. To get a good price with Time Warner you have to bundle cable and internet and agree to a 15 month price lock with an ETF that is charged if you cancel service or move to an area that lacks service.
Cable =/= "TV".

That said, no cable company has a contract that I know of. Time Warner has NO contract for their internet, at least not out here in California. Same goes for Cox.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20984716 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:23:46 EDT Re: They just raised the price too... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20983996 said by jc100:

So, if at&t DSL can't compete with cable on speed, well... might as well not compete on price, either.

What the hell kinda marketing is that?

Sure, we know they want to push people into U-Verse... but there's a LOT more ppl who are in DSL range then U-Verse range and at&t is throwing them to the (cable) wolves.

I guess they are just going early; since they pretty much intend to (eventually) offer U-Verse everywhere they have DSL.

I just got the newest offer from at&t in the mail today.

$25 a month for DSL 1.5/256... *IF* you bundle it WITH a wireless plan. IE that's the *bundled discount* price. If you don't get a wireless plan, it's $10 higher for all tiers.... IE $35 for 1.5/256. Gimmie a break! According to the website, you also pay activation on this plan and have to buy the modem (or bring your own.)

It's quite a deal. For them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20982692 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:11:00 EDT Re: They just raised the price too... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20982620

Yeah ... I don't think $40/month for 3Mbps/512kbps PPPoE is worth it. I can pay DSL-Extreme $25/month + $13 for POTS and have better service. It would be only worth it if I was using T-Mobile VoIP for $10/month.
How is high speed INternet 1.5mbs and 3mbs. I had a 5mbs connection in 1997 for $16 a month. I couldn't imgaine using a 1.5mbs connection on a daily basis.
I'm too used to my 50mbs FIOS connection now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20982574 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:46:53 EDT Re: They just raised the price too... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20981800 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20981800 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:19:29 EDT Re: They just raised the price too... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20981206 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20981206 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:04:19 EDT Re: They just raised the price too... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-They-just-raised-the-price-too-20981108 said by en102:

Yeah - it was raised from $25/month to $30/month It's a sound investment in a child's education. Isn't every child worth an extra five dollars -- just $.16 per day -- for AT&T broadband? :)

Lets see: DSL-Extreme (AT&T lines)
1500/384Kbps  12 Month  DHCP - 5 IP(s)  FREE  $17.95/mo1500/384Kbps  Month to Month  DHCP - 5 IP(s)  FREE $22.95/mo3000/512Kbps  12 Month  DHCP - 5 IP(s)  FREE  $19.95/mo3000/512Kbps  Month to Month  DHCP - 5 IP(s)  FREE $27.95/mo

Vs. AT&T:
$30 for 1500/384kbps
$40 for 3008/512kbps

Of course, AT&T's plans don't require POTS... but they're basically charging you for it anyways.
