Price Matching for Broadband?

Logan 5 Wondering what happens next.. Premium,MVM join:2001-05-25 The WasteLAN ·Pacific Bell - SBC	Price Matching for Broadband? Since when has there been the expectation that "Comcast must match AT&T pricing" or "AT&T must Match Comcast's"? Both of those companies try to run a profitable business which means that they put out a product at what they feel is at a fair market value but it's obvious that you don't feel that way... Playing one against the other because you aren't willing to pay the price that everyone else does is kinda Sleazy IMHO plus you are trying to compare DSL and HSI which are two completely different technologies... If you absolutely have to try and lowball for the cheapest price you can get, at least do it with a company offering the same type of technology as the one you are trying to get the low price from. And yes, I am a happy AT&T DSL user... been that way for over a decade now..... No wonder AT&T wouldn't give you the time of day when you tried that with them.... what were you expecting?

To criticize the review, Comcast's offer for 12 months will go up more than what AT&T wants for the highest DSL speed. But to defend the reviewer, AT&T does not have their shit together, period. AT&T's records are out of date, their CSR is as useful as talking to a brick wall...I mean its just horrible. In fact, if I didn't talk to the guy at the CO, Homer Glen to THIS DAY still would not have DSL due to the fact some lardbutt can't keep the records up to date. AT&T claimed that we couldn't get DSL because we had a duplexer or something on our line (which we didn't) which prevents the use of DSL. The tech at our CO was sympathetic enough to call his supervisor and they got it worked out through him. I honestly think that AT&T could be infinitely more profitable, but they just don't care. Services works great when it does work....but you better pray you NEVER have a problem because if you do - the only way to actually get someone who cares would either be a EECB or a BBB report.
