Re: Competitive choices list
Please note a cheaper way to get to the SBC/Pacbell etc. 6mb dl/ 384k ul service. I recently called and setup the lower speed enhanced service max dl 1.5mb and 128k ul on a month to month basis for $65/mo with the only install fee being the $99 modem. Activation etc were waived. I then upgraded to the higher speed service($179/mo as I do not have business phone service and therefore do not qualify for the business promotion indicated in this thread) for no additional fee. Pretty good deal other than the ridiculously high monthly rate. I'm going to probably keep that until the rumored new plans come out from SBC. My install was completed in just 5 days. |

If you are operating a home office, cable is an alternative in some areas. But the service / usage policies are changing along with the bandwidth charges.
AT&T Broadband limits 1.5Mbs down/ 256kbs up in parts of LA area. Pricing in LA is $42 per month, but new tiered pricing is expected "any day now." Dynamic IP. Tiered price of 3Mb down/ 384kbs up expected at about $80 per month. Some ports are blocked in some areas (esp port 80 into customer). |
