Re: New speeds coming 6 tiers? Wow. Exact opposite strategy of Charter reducing options to only 2 tiers.
I'm a little disappointed the upload speed hasn't been upgraded on the 18 Mbps tier. It's the same as the current 12 Mbps tier: 1.5Mbps.
What is the current upload speed for the 18Mbps and 24Mbps tiers? I may update now if there is a price advantage. |

I am on single pair connection
currently have the 24/3 connection..
I am going be grandfathered into the 30/3 connection. But to take advantage I have to pay for a truck roll to get the upgrade???
FastAttack  I don't think that is accurate. The gateway profiles on the single pair lines will increase to around 45Mbps. So going from 24 to 30 will not require a truck roll. It should just magically happen transparently. If you want to upgrade above that it will require a truck roll to install the pair bonded connection to a new RG. Well if memory serves right, if they gave me the 45 megabit profile then wouldn't getting closer to max sync rate cause more connection issues?
( Currently according to UV Real Time max sync is 57,658 which has degraded from 62,000 when I originally got UVERSE)
I am looking more at the upload speed which is 6 megabits for the higher tiers.. so 30/3 wouldn't cut it either..
so if I upgrade to the higher tiers then I am forced to pay them to do a truck roll?
still kinda crazy.. |

So they just cut out the 6mbps? |

looks like timewarner is getting ready for 20 Mbps on the upload.

I wonder if uverse can match that. |
|
| lol at uverse matching. The 30/4 charter tier is the same price as the 3/1 uverse and the 100/5 charter tier is the same price as the 45/6 uverse.
The only thing at&t matches in is price and caps. |

|
| Good thing AT&T U-verse still isn't capped. |

| Thats apparently ending soon. |

Is ATT going to have new pricing and speeds for just regular DSL customers? |

I can't blame At&t for the cost. They have to recoup the money spent on their expensive fiber deployments somehow... Oh wait.... |

Well I do agree AT&T's getting more ridiculous with these new tiers and pair bonding. The only reason I'm sticking is the lack of caps. The second they turn on the caps, I'll probably be switching to Charter, even though they suck, especially since I can't even use my own modem. |

You should be fine with that max synch rate. We all used to run at the bleeding edge synch rate on ADSL and did not really have issues. I ran at 6Meg for years without issues which was my max actual synch rate to the DSLAM. You will be physically synched at 57Meg with 12Meg of breathing room to your profile cap. I think you'll do just fine.
If you choose to upgrade to a higher tier that requires a truck roll, that is part of the install. I'm sure they will have options and promos to eliminate the up front install costs. Either way, they get their money to pay for it all in the end.

| How do my stats look for upgrading my 24/3 to the 30/3? Does being Internet-only make a difference? |

I just have to chuckle when I read these price/speed rumors. If they are all true, then AT&T doesn't give a shit anymore (and is just doing the very least until they can sell off ALL of their wireline business). Either that or they think people really are that stupid (maybe they are?)
Paying for a truck roll to receive pair bonding and a higher speed is absurd. it's their already maxed out network that's the problem, so they should do these upgrades at their expense (not like you don't pay for it in the monthly service cost anyway)
In my neighborhood of 95 homes the closest block to the VRAD is at minimum 1,800 feet. (our home is 2,000) Average sync rate for the homes at this distance is 38-55 megs. If we all wanted to get a speed tier matching what cable is offering most of us would need pair bonding. As for the homes further away from the VRAD (the majority of this subdivision) they'd ALL need pair bonding and may even be SOL with it.
This to me is reality, what we are hearing rumored is not, IMO.
I really should stop reading about all this, and just forget about it and then see when things actually happen. Not worth getting worked up about until it's all solid. |

said by nephipower:You also forgetting that this is all pricing before any promotional rates that they will offer. So in reality it won't be this expensive.
Today the regular price of 24 mbit service is $66 so everybody calm down first before deciding to pick up your pitch fork
So are the Comcast prices I quoted. After your initial promo most customers pay the regular price unless they call in and threaten to cancel.
24 for $66 is no longer competitive.
These prices on the other hand would be:
$31 - 3 Mbps
$36 - 6 Mbps
$41 - 12 Mbps
$46 - 18 Mbps
$51 - 24 Mbps
$56 - 30 Mbps
$61 - 45 Mbps |
