Re: Unbundled but contracted
Do you mean switching to a dry line DSL instead of unbundling? If so, I thought the only dry line plan that required a 1 year contract was Basic and that the other plans were mandatory contract free? I wonder if you could even get a contract with some sort of bonus feature, e.g. discount, free modem, etc., on them if you requested one? |

1 edit | I have standard unlimited local calling, call waiting, & the newly renegotiated 768 down package for $19.95/mo. When I get my MJ and cancel my local landline service, the DSL will unbundle from the landline and require a 1 year contract regardless of speed.

| "unbundled loop" is the phrase the phone company used for dsl without phone service years ago.
There is a dsl direct basic package 768/384 (dry loop) priced at $19.95 with a one year term
There is also a lineshared basic package 768/384 priced at $19.95 with no term
Since you still have att voice service I think you purchased the lineshared basic package and that may or may not get disconnected when you end the voice service |

| I was told that when I decide to discontinue landline service, I would have to agree to a 1 year dsl contract. When I do drop the landline, I will be able to afford getting the 6mb package again because the MJ is so much more cost effective at this point, but not until then.

Indy | The only dsl direct package that requires a 1 year term is the basic package
dsl direct express, pro and elite packages are "no term required" |

2 edits | I was told by 2 separate reps that if I unbundle, it will require a 1 year contract regardless of speed. I'll have to call back and have a talk with them.
Edit to add:
Seems that when I asked to be downgraded to the 768 package the system put me at 384/384 for some reason. However 1 phone call, 1 transfer, 1 disconnect, a call back, another transfer, and all told about 95 minutes, I had the problem fixed. |
