Re: ATT better watch out
LOL!
No offense ninja... but $$45.95 less vs 278,000 new HSI *ONLY* customers( x $42.95 per month = $11,940,100.00 per month... HSI ONLY) - they aren't going to notice this single loss.

| At least they wont have my mothers household anymore. Thats all that matters to me. Pay attention to the numbers after the rates increase for our area for video »Comcast Video-Only Subscribers See Rate Hike Tons of people will be fed up and walk.
Uverse is gaining steam. Free DVR, free set top boxes, free wifi modem/router, all IP video transmission (no fuzzy channels  ) We'll see how the numbers play out.
My mothers household is paying $37.89 in equpitment fees alone  $7 outlet fee? WTH? |

| AT&T Again Hints At Bandwidth Crackdown
Peak, off-peak broadband minutes?
Key words on that linked item there friend - *VIDEO ONLY*.
HSI, since this article is about internet, from Comcast has not had a hike in the 5 years I have had it.
Can't wait to see you here bitching if AT&T bones you and your Mother with an insane cap or metered billing.

Yeah but if more people would vote with their wallets, they couldn't get away with ripping off customers. |

Not rich - I save my money.
Every 2 years(more or less) I buy me a New VAIO.
Since the new VAIOs I get have BD drives - why not get BDs instead of DVDs? DUH! 
Comcast HSI has not had a price hike in the 5 years I have had service... where you at?
Comcast HSI has been stepped up to 16mbps(17.3mbps actual speed(I opted for $10 more for speed years ago))... how's that AT&T doing there for ya ninja?
LOL!

This I found interesting posted above:
"While the company did add 46,000 subscribers total due to U-Verse, they actually lost 90,000 DSL subscribers thanks to the economy, competition, and according to Donovan - flawed execution."
For a net loss of 44,000?
See, some of us look for value in the service(s) we get - and services vary by area.
Bang-For-Buck, here, goes to Comcast.
AT&T here is a whopping 6mbps of you are close enough.
$35 upto 6mbps... no POTS so we get to add that, right?
"SERVICE REQUIRES: DSL modem/gateway/router and qualifying local service from AT&T at time of online order."
$35 and POTS... 
»www.att.com/Common/indc/popup/in···ions.htm
"Guaranteed Price for 24 Months: Price guarantee applies to monthly recurring charge for a period of 24 months from date of service, and does not include taxes, fees or excessive bandwidth usage charges."
WTF?
Yeah... Gots to gets me some of that.

2 edits | Value is based on what you're using it for. Comcast got me for $56 for basic HSI unbundled ( the awesome 30% how dare you not have CATV penalty) when I had them. I used to be a Comcast sub so I know they nightmare they were but I've never had AT&T DSL (I had AT&T Broadband which was great before the Comcast nightmare came to town, they didn't have bundling penalties). |

1 edit | Here, POTS used to be SBC.
Sucked the Big Red one!
SBC bought AT&T and renamed themselves to AT&T - still the same crap lines here.
So, since *HERE* AT&T(SBC) sucked too bad to be sucky, AT&T is not going to happen.
No Uverse, and no chance of FiOS, but Comcast hooked this Wood up with Blast anyways - at no additional cost. Uhm... yeah!
So, as I sit here typing these posts to y'all, it's coming across a far better service provider than what is now AT&T.
See that little image and link above - WTF is "excessive bandwidth usage charges"?
AT&T? El Capo?
Hop on in the SS CapMyLine. We'll all go for a cruise around The Bay!

3 edits | Someone would have to search far and wide to find POTS that isn't a total rip-off.
You didn't hear about AT&T's new plans? They're going the cap route AND apparently are going to charge overage fees!
I guess doubling the price of intro DSL didn't lose them enough customers. |

yea what is this and what is the limit ???
I like how they d
Looks like Ill be re-adding another dsl line to my house so I can be sure to avoid this.
I wonder how they will do this for Uverse users since TV runs over ip and uses bandwith. And you can record up to 4 streas at anyone time.
