Re: ATT better watch out

said by Dogfather:

Yeah but doesn't AT&T have more HSI subs than Comcast and AT&T only got beat in adds by Comcast when AT&T doubled their intro rates.
No idea.
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...

"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.

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).

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?

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.

excessive bandwidth usage charges

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.
