Round Lake, IL | Cost of new install. What is the ball-park $ figure of the new install these days? Do AT&T require a term commitment? I am located in a Chicago suburb, btw.
Also, I have an old and hopefully still working Speedstream 5360 modem - can these still be provisioned on AT&T network? I use pfsense as firewall / router currently, and am happy with it, would prefer to continue to use it if I can and opt out of using the ISP-provided gateway.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. |

Indy | The dsl fee is billed in advance, so you'll be billed for a partial month and a full month for the first bill
All the dsl plans can be ordered without a term commitment
The 5360 will work with att dsl
You should be able to decline the modem purchase during or after the dsl order
New coustomers qualify for a 50% off modem purchase
And your 5360/ pfsense as firewall / router can be used |

If you order uverse internet you are required to purchase the att modem/router
If you order the regular dsl you can use 5360/pfsense as your firewall / router
With the uverse internet pfsense must be used as a second firewall/router because only att modems can authenticate/connect to uverse internet |

Got it. Thanks wayjac! |

| Depending on where you live U-Verse could be the only thing available to you. DSL is slowly being phased out in favor of Uverse. With Uverse you aren't required to purchase any equipment you can also use your router. Call and see what's in your area. |

If its uverse with tv you arent charged for a modem but if its IPDslam (ADSL2+) then have to pay for the modem/router |

Invest $20 for a used better modem. |

OK, so maybe DSL is not my best option.
What about the upfront cost of Uverse installation?
What $ amount to expect?
Thanks everyone! |

Indy | Uverse is a slightly different form of dsl
The up front costs are about the same.
You must purchase/lease the att equipment. |

For U-verse I was charged $289.00, with a $100.00 rebate which is on a prepaid Visa card, which they expect you to put toward your bill.
That would make the U-verse bill total $189.00
This is the installation and cost for U-verse you will owe
Hope that this will help.
