The next promo?

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

Any chance the static packages will drop in price?

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.

Sorry, I have no further information on upload rates or packages. Maybe there will be more information tomorrow when the official announcement is made.

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...

I believe he was looking for the upload rate on the plan that offers 768k download (Basic plan). I doubt that the 768k download plan will offer anything near 768k upload. Can you clarify what package you did your test on?

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?

Are they extending the distance at which they will service this low speed tier?

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 See Profilesays...

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.

So does this mean, with the lower speed, I have a chance of getting DSL now?

Nope. It's still the same distance requirements...just the download dropped as a cost savings...

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

The website is still showing one-year contracts in addition to month-to-month, at the same prices, so it appears they are still marketing to people who expect the price to go up within a year.

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?

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.
