June 24, 200718 yr Refering: http://theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=40430 AT&T secretly releases $10 DSL Don't tell anyone they might buy it By Nick Farrell: Tuesday 19 June 2007, 15:16 AT&T has obeyed an FCC order that it release a broadband Internet service for $10 a month. But just to show how enthusiastic it is about the idea, it does not seem to be promoting it at all. The deal was part of an agreement with the FCC when AT&T wanted to get its paws on BellSouth for $86 billion last December. They also agreed to give punters a free modem as part of the deal. However when AT&T announced the outfit's new DSL plans the deal, which is much cheaper, was not mentioned. Sharp eyed punters found the deal buried on the AT&T Web site. No, it is not on the page describing DSL options. You have to click a link for "Term contract plans". It is just under the sign "Beware of the Leopard" and "Read any further and you will catch herpes". The agreement with the FCC required the company to offer the plan for at least two and a half years. But did not mention anything about promoting it. A spokesAT&T would not comment about future advertising plans for the offer. More here. ? Refering: http://theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=40430
June 24, 200718 yr no thanks i'll stick to my RR I USED to be RR it was only 5mg down and 584 up now I have 6 mg down and 768 up with ATT and its less money........
June 24, 200718 yr Author I've got Cox Cable and I'm thinking about going Bellsouth DSL, which is AT&T.
June 24, 200718 yr I heard about this on G4 a few days ago. It doesn't matter for me cause AT&T doesn't provide out where I live. Only our local telecom provider does...and they're not the greatest.
June 24, 200718 yr Yea, interesting how advertising/marketing it after being forced to implement it wasn't included in the wording of the directive. Somebody should get all the info and do a national commercial just to piss off AT&T! But screw that, I'm happy with my 10mb Comcast :->
June 24, 200718 yr Author Yeah the $10 plan seems like its only a few steps up from dial-up. I would get one of the higher bandwidth packages. I just wasn't thinking when I made this thread. Most of you have uber connections.

Most of you have uber connections. But with the amount of people still running dial-up, this is nice. Most websites now-a-days are to large for dial-up, shoot one of the computers here at work can't handle this website.
