 ATLHSI join:2003-02-13 Roswell, GA | The Bells Play the Same Game but Worse! Try getting DSL at all with a Bell company if you have someone else for phone service! They won't serve you period unless you get their landline phone service.
This is definitely true of BellSouth, and I assume for the rest! BellSouth also ties their advertised rate for DSL to a specific (most expensive) package.
Quit whining! It's Business 101 that multiple services cover the high fixed costs of the network better than single services. The price of cable TV covers most of the cable network costsand overhead. When a customer gets Internet only, those costs have to be covered by only the Internet. Hence the discount on multiple services. |
