AT&T West → Re: Want More Speed

That plan was only for a limited time from feb. to april of this year.

In order to get a 6meg package you would have to go through the business side and ask for the 6meg 5 static package for $99. There have been rumors that SBC could be offering the 6meg dynamic package some time soon but no concrete proof or what the price would be. I doubt it will be $44.99 which is what we all are paying on the expert plus.

Why such a limited time? Was it just a tease? Seems crazy to introduce an incredible offer for just three months. Hard to understand what they were attempting to accomplish. Thanks for your reply gdm.

Well it's a little more complicated then that. It was only advertised at 3meg max speeds. We were just told by some birdies that the 3meg service would be uncapped. Then after they saw it was a hit they came out with the pro package.

So in a way they never really lied or offered the anything higher then 3megs for $44.99;)

By the way, the 1.5-6.0mbps/384-608kbps speed tier is once again available from Sonic.net and DSLExtreme, if you happen to be in their service areas. The Sonic.net promotion is through tomorrow ($54.95/month the first year, $69.95 thereafter, 8 static bridged IPs), and the DSLExtreme promotion is through November 13 ($59.95 /month for life, your choice of 5 dynamic or 5 static IPs).

It's also available, I believe, from linkLINE.com in the Los Angeles area for an introductory promotional price of $49.95/month, although the promotion isn't listed on the web site.

gdm-So essentially the Expert Plus is just an uncapped Pro plan. Any of those birdies know how to get a Pro plan uncapped now?

succotash-thanks for the info. I'll check those sites for coverage in my area (N. CA)

You can't get the pro plan uncapped:(

pro is twice the speed of standard and $10 more (26.99 vs 35.99), so if they offered expert plus again, at $10 more you're looking at $46.99. not too far off from $44.99...

True but SBC marketing doesn't think logically so don't count on it being just $10 more if they ever do come out with it again. Then again it's SBC and you can't figure out what will happen next
