New BellSouth DSL Bundles

said by en102:

I have DirecTv and AT&T here, but they only bundle with Dish or Uverse out here
DirecTv has worked well for me since 2003.

DSL lite is 768 down.

Yes, we need to make sure everyone knows about the $10 plan. I have my in-laws on it as of last week. It is great now that we can actually call them without a busy signal.

said by Rob:

In-laws? And you call that a perk?

When Bellsouth switches to AT&T DSL pricing

Not to mention Bell South's unreliable PPPoE

Instead of trying to force them down peoples throats anymore..they should let their lower tier DSL serve as the replacement for those revenues.

eyes glazing over trying to decipher this endless price games crap being thrown out..primarily by the telco industry? (although I don't totally absolve the cable co's either).

Why..can't someone just say..I want 1500k dsl..no landlines..no nothing..and get it for a reasonable price?

Or..768k.
Or..3,000k.
Or..whatever.

It seems to me that telco is missing out on a HUGE opportunity to REALLY do something to stem the loss of revenues from their mind blowing loss of landlines.

Telco OWNS the lower speed HSI market..and simply doesn't further capitalize on it by simply saying if you want 1500k dsl for 20.00 a month..Here..you can have it.
That is a TOTAL replacement for those lost landline revenues...and you get to keep the customers.

People who might otherwise sign up for that many times go to cable Hsi because there is one thing they CAN do..and that is to add.
And, when you add the landline that they don't want..PLUS the lower cost dsl..you just might as well pay 42.95 a month to comcast to get the kinds of speeds we get.

While I guess there is some give on telco's part in certain areas, just way too much of this is way too secretive, and depends on who you call and at what time.
Honestly, I read through these telco forums here at BBR and wonder how some people have the time to do all the negotiating they need to with these companies to get a deal.
And, Lord help them when the specials end.
It's off to the races for Ma Bell.

Listen up Telco's.
768k unbundled..no landline..totally naked..15 to 20 a month
1500k to 3,000k..24.95.

Forget the games. The shenanigans...you'll have a really big winner on your hands..

and will make up for all your lost landline customers fleeing you like passengers off the decks of the titanic.

That's what I'm wondering... can I switch from the BellSouth $32.95 per month to the AT&T $19.95 per month plans that both offer the same up and down speeds?

said by Rob A:

Pricing seems accurate.

said by d_l:

After you deduct the $15/mo value of the static IP, the old Bellsouth region pays $7/mo less (or 80% of the regular AT&T rate) for 19% more download and 33% less upload speed.

said by BF69:

How is that? People in my area pay 23% MORE for same download and 1/3 less upload? WTF is accurate about that?

said by L337:

The price seems reasonable.
