Re: availabale, but pricy said by djrobx:"Standard" HSI rates have always been roughly $39/month. DSL providers used to offer "top" tier DSL at premium prices. Having lived in both Qwest territory AND Pac Bell territory, two areas that were first to introduce DSL, I have to disagree with you.
Qwest was the first carrier to introduce and roll out DSL - Their service was priced out at $79 a month for 256/128. The higher speeds were 512/256 and was $109 per month. Those speeds and prices went into 2002.
PacBell was among the first, and I quoted the rates above.. that was for 384/384. There was a 512/512 tier and it was $129 per month. Those rates dropped to $64 a month and speed increased up to 1.5/384 by 1999. I ordered service in Feb of 1998.
It wasn't until about 2002/2003 that DSL prices started to fall below $50.00 per month... and now they're even cheaper today. |
