| said by morbo  :is that really what AT&T is charging? i was told $19.99 for 3.0 and $35 for 6.0. The former Bellsouth area AT&T is still higher than the rest of the country as they don't compete in their pricing.
»bellsouth.com/consumer/inetsrvcs/index.html
DSL Lite $24.95 - 256 Kbps/128 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
DSL Ultra $32.95 - 1.5 Mbps/256 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
DSL Xtreme $37.95 - 3 Mbps/384 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
DSL Xtreme 6.0 $42.95 - 6 Mbps/512 Kbps Maximum Downstream/Upstream
Former SBC areas are much more competitive.

| Re: Verizon please come to Miami Relax...As much as you hate ATT, its just not as simple to go changing rates at the flip of a hat. Bellsouth has a completely different billing system/ordering system, then ATT does that has to be rewritten, and checked before distributed for use. The merger just completed the first of the year. Give them some time to absorb Bellsouth geeze.. | |

you're saying that AT&T prepared their new marketing campaign (the biggest in history, i believe) that incorporates rebranding all the pieces in AT&T's puzzle, but we're suppose to believe that they can't handle changing the existing more expensive BellSouth rates to the less expensive AT&T rates in a timely manner?
not buying it. they could have prepared for this in advance, just like they did with marketing. AT&T just didn't want to do that. it boils down to money and how they love it more than their children.
knowing AT&T, i believe that the BellSouth rates are what will be pushed on the rest of the country. more revenue, delievered to stockholders! | |

| Re: Verizon please come to Miami It really doesnt matter if I have permission or not. The ISPs cant make a buck when a paying customer decides to share what he has paid for. So ISPs will still call it stealing and wimper and jump up and down to try and put a stop to it. But since network companies and hakers invented NAT for cheap routers, there isnt much those ISP mogals can do about it. The will of the people is wireless good will to their fellow man. Thats why there are so many open wireless hotspots. I love this universe. | |

| Does Verizon require phone service to get that deal?
This is a great price for 768k service but for those who have dropped the landlines in favor of cell and/or VOIP,
that landline costs just eats up any savings.

| 466 Kbps @ $29 is what you get... I rarely get above 550 here, not an area where every house is on-line either. New contract is due soon, I think I'll bitch a bit louder than I did last year. They sent an e-mail telling me that a new price was going into effect, then recinded the offer. A sick April Fools joke every year. | |

| Love my Verizon DSL 3Mbps/768Kbps for $29.95/month, can't ask for much more, have had it for over 2 yrs (27 months to be exact) now. Only other broadband here is Optimum Online which is a true ripoff at $49.95. I love the speed, reliability, and price of my Verizon DSL. Never had any rate hikes. The $14.99 tier sounds great for those who are still on dialup, and can upgrade to broadband for basically what they are paying now. For the more regular user, the 3Mbps/768Kbps for $29.95 is perfect.
