| thanks... for your review, NormanS. I just got ATT/Yahoo DSL service on the 25th of October(768/384), and liked what you had to say. I decided to get DSL service for the price($14.99 monthly)vs $44 monthly for 3Mb/256Kb cable modem. So far, I'm happy with what I got. Currently at 620/320 speeds, but only have had activated service since 10/25. Time will tell...but I DO like the faster upload speed!!

| Wow $18 / month for Pro? I need to give them a call and upgrade. I've been on Express (1.5Mb) for just under three years at $27 per month with the yearly contract... From their site it looks like I could now get Elite for only $7 more. Thanks for the info. | |

| Re: Wow I think you may have missed the boat. That is an old contract price, but the old contracts are no more. The current price structure is:
Basic (384/384): $14.99
Express (1536/384): $19.99
Pro (3008/512): $24.99
Elite (6016/768): $34.99

My contract was renewed at the end of July, 2006. The new contract prices went into effect October 3, 2006, or so.
I don't know what I will have available at the end of my contract. Assuming things stay as they are, I will consider whether to keep the Pro at $24.99, or drop back to Express at $19.99.

| Re: Wow Thanks for the replay. I appreciate it. I figured it must be something like that. But even at those current prices, I've been paying $27 per month for Express when I could have twice as much bandwidth (Pro) for a couple dollars less... or 4 times as much for just a few dollars more per month.
By the way, do know if those are the regular rates or if they are introductory prices that change after 6 months or a year, etc... I looked all over their site for that info and couldn't find it, so I was assuming that they are the standard rates.
Anyway, Thanks again. | |

| Re: Wow They appear to be good for a year. I am not sure if they are "introductory" rates, or if you can rerate a long standing account. I believe that people have rerated long standing accounts, though.
The web site lists two packages per price tier, a "month-to-month", and a 12-month contract. I've seen it posted that you need to get the 12-month contract to get the $49.99 rebate for the CPE. The rebate is the same, regardless of the equipment. You either pay $49.99+Tax, S&H for the SS4100, or you pay $79.99 for the modem/wireless router combo unit. The rebate is the same for each: $49.99.
From what I can tell, though, the rebate is applied to both packages. Perhaps the deal is, if you rerate, you don't get the modem.
