Re: Time-Warner for the Win! said by Crookshanks:Where do you live that "abysmal" DSL speeds are being sold for $40/mo? Most of the people who have what I would consider "abysmal" (<=1.5mbit/s) connections are in the $20 to $30 range, with both Frontier and Verizon. I have no direct experience with AT&T (thank god), so perhaps they are the provider you're referring to?
Not AT&T. They are only charging $20 to $30 for .768 mb/s to 1.5 mb/s. I think a very small ILEC up north ("Siskiyou Telephone", aka "Siqtel") charges about $40 for their 3.0 mb/s service.

| How about Austin, TX: Time Warner's cheapest Internet is $49+/month for a 12 month intro package, then it goes up.
AT&T does not sell new DSL any more in this part of Texas, they are slowly killing it off - only "U-verse" (though they do have lots of web presence talking about DSL) and the cheapest they offer hasn't change over the past 6 months ($38/month for 3 Mbit, nothing slower offered, and no DSL offered in this part of the country).
So $25/month beats both by a lot! And it ends after a year, rather than going up...

What part of "U-verse HSI" isn't DSL? Everybody talks like DSL is going away. Well, AT&T ADSL is going the way of DOCSIS 1.1/2, to be sure. But U-verse HSI is DSL, just as cable Internet is DOCSIS. But cable is upgrading to DOCSIS 3, and AT&T is upgrading to ADSL2+/VDSL.
