3 edits | Might be a good business deal
For the first year only, not good for me but might be a good business package. Also if you already have dsl you are not eligible for this service plan. |

1 edit | yeah right.
New customers only? Sounds like a marketing scheme to do one thing- boost its subscriber base and lock them into a 1 year contract...
I bet after that year is up they will be bumped down to 1.5/256.

Nirvana | Great Deal -- Beats $100 for same thing from SBC
OK it reverts to $70 in 1 year -- still beats $100 for the same thing from SBC. Who doesn't see what a deal that is (6mbs man!). |

Quote from the advertisment:
Offer good only on new DSL circuit orders. Telephone lines with existing DSL service will not be able to take advantage of the special one-year introductory price.
So not just new customers but new DSL customers period.

Re: Not a good deal
I think it is an awesome deal. What have you been smoking?
Even if it reverts back to $70 a month after the first year, that is still a better deal than SBC is offering.

I hope so.
I am going to try out SBC DSL next month. If the service is good, I will stay with them. If they drop the price on that high tier service, I will pay extra for it.
Feb. 2nd you say? I will keep my eyes open.

The only prob with $60 is kinda pricey, perfect for a business but dsl is not regulated like T1 line is? |

Re: yeah
My theory is there are a bunch of CO's out there and lots of fiber to burn, so to speak. If you have a lot of supply there is more flexibility to make offers like these. |

Re: Great Deal -- Beats $100 for same thing from SBC
Just be mindful SBC has been known in the past to oversell their network. You might want to check usage during peak hours, otherwise you might end up with empty bandwidth promises. |

Re: Excellent
Pricey? -- not by comparison/price per megabit. How much is your cell phone bill? How much is a world of information at your fingertips "instantly" worth? There's no right answer -- but I'd trade my cell phone for 6mbs internet anyday. |

Re: glass ceiling?
DSL providers (speaking in a historical sense) have never regulated the amount of bandwidth or data you transport across your provisioned line. You get what you pay for, and it is yours to use as you see fit.

I have asked SBC, and there is no download limit. They don't plan on having one either. All of thier RT's have been upgraded so anyone who is in range of an RT or CO can get these plans. They also specifically state you can use routers. The only thing you cannot do it host a server, unless you get a business contract. |
