Re: ATT naked dsl
6 of 1, half dozen of the other.. Some say charing more for their service with out the CORE BUSINESS product, but many, outside of BBR, will say it's a discount since HSI service is the higher price. But, I know that people like to view the lowest price (no matter what you have to do to get it) as the actual price.

At least with cable, you can get "naked" service... to date, the ONLY real company that offers naked DSL is Qwest. Like them or hate them, Qwest has always provided a rock solid DSL service with out any of the bullSh*t troubles, hassle, port blocking, stipulations, and they also did away with contracts.

So.. where is Verizon and AT&T on this one?? playing games.. that's where.

TRIAL of naked DSL?? For what reason... technical reasons?? Qwest already did their trial.. they want to see how this will harm them IF they go stand-alone DSL.

Again, like or hate cable, they are not using HSI as a retention tool like AT&T and VZ is doing... those two phone providers see their DSL as a way to keep a customer on their phone service and away from cable.. that's all.
