As we were the first to report last week, SBC hopes to take the fight to the cable industry this week with a series of new tiers - including a 3Mbps tier at $45. The tiers were finally made official over the weekend, and our forums are filled with SBC users trying to make the transition. The most interesting of the tiers is obviously the $44.99 3Mbps tier designed to compete with cable, the specifics of which are now available at the SBC website. This thread in one of our SBC forums offers additional answers for questions about the upgrade specifics. According to this post from an SBC tech, the the $45 1.5-3/384 tier is actually 1.5-6/608 if line quality and distance conditions are met.
