49533 | The next promo?
Any word on what the next DSL promo will be? The current promo should be expiring soon I think. |

Holy crap, that's awesome! Been thinking about getting DSL for my mom, but was put off by the 1 year contract since they might be moving.
I can also deal with $34.99 for Elite without have to mess with re-rates.
You know what the upload rate is on the 768k package? I'm assuming 128k or 256k. |

Just did a up speed test and these are the results Upload Speed: 619 kbps (77.4 KB/sec transfer rate)... Remember you only get about 80% of the 768k...

Basic 768k d/l - $14.99
Express 1.5 mbps - $19.99 Can I count on that?
My bill shows my basic rate as $49.95 per month, with discounts to effectively reduce that. After my current contract ends, am I going to be "grandfathered" at $49.95 while most folk are paying $19.95 for the same service? |

You may very well be. To be safe, you might want to call up at the end of your contract and ask for a re-rate.
It's good to see that the contract games for AT&T DSL are ending. |

You're right, DAH... Didn't know they had a 768 down package anymore...
Annonamoose says...
There is no need to re-up anymore...
As of 09/11/06, the company dropped the regular rate for DSL to these prices.
Express (Dynamic) 384 to 1.5 $19.99 after the 12 month term.
Pro (Dynamic) 1.5 to 3.0 $24.99 after the 12 month term.
Elite (Dynamic) 3.0 to 6.0 $34.99 after the 12 month term.
Those are for everyone...if your term came due after the 11th, you'll automatically re-rate to that. |

If it doesn’t fit FORCE IT! If it breaks then it needed to be replaced anyways. |

I looked over the details briefly and it looks like modems are $49.95 with a $49.95 rebate only for speed upgrade and new customers. That is, I didn't see anything about getting a free modem if you renew to a one-year contract.
What other advantage is there with a contract? What's the company line on this?

49533 | I thought having both month-to-month and 1 year listed on the site was strange too. Didn't see any difference between the two either. |
