I just signed up yesterday evening for the Pro service for 28.99 in Texas. One note however the phone number listed above I think is only for the Midwest division, you will be routed to a different number for Texas. I think it is the Fiber Sales department. I don't have the number with me or I would post it. |

| best value?
"a way to let customers know that buying several services at the same time is always the best value."
May not be better value if a customer does not need said other service....
I have a cell phone, and it serves as a primary number for me. If I want DSL I shouldn't have to purchase a phone service also to get a cheaper rate. I won't benefit from the 'value' of this added service. |

If they didn't jack up the price of the "naked" service, that would be true. But when you can get DSL+basic phone for less than DSL alone, they are correct in stating that multiple services is the best value, even if you never use the phone line.

| dry loop dsl (naked dsl)
I signed up 2 months ago using that number and it is the southwest #. I got transfered around and 45 mins later cut off. I then called the exec office of AT&T explained what happened and they took care of me. FYI - in oder to pay your naked DSL online at at&t they have to input your account number as a phone number into their database other wise you must mail a check of pay over the phone. You will most like need to contact the exec office. Info for that in on the consumerist website. |

I called to order dry loop in Cleveland, OH on Nov 13th. I placed an order for the Pro (3000/512) tier @28.99/mo. I then called back on the 21st to check on the order status. They said they had NO record of my order and put me through the order process again. They said my turn on date is Dec 4th, but I have not yet received my modem....

"AT&T began offering $10 768kbps DSL to comply, though they neither announced or advertised the price point in the hopes that nobody would notice. AT&T's new CEO informed the press that AT&T didn't advertise the tier because nobody wants it."
That's really funny. I just got married and the 768k package suits us perfectly. Browsing is snappy and the XBox360 works like a charm. We'll upgrade when we feel the need to, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. |

Well AT&T doesn't serve my location.. its actually Windstream.. although it shows Altel still.. anyways, really don't know about that.
What I do know, is I would like this provided in my Location..I have a cell, like the guy up above mentioned which I use as my primary phone.
Being forced to have a land line is not something I enjoy.. |

@sbcglobal.net | Naked DSL
Maybe I'm missing something. I am currently on 3MBps for $25 + ~$10 for the landline. You guys say I can ditch the land line and get naked for ~$28. So we're talking a grand total of $7/mo savings. Is that it? |

I posted the info below in a reply to this thread (»SAFA (Stand Alone FastAccess) - Confirmed today) in the AT&T Southeast forum on 11/19/2007.
Link to my reply in above mentioned thread.

"Monthly Charges
1. FastAccess DSL Customers:
FastAccess DSL Plans
FastAccess DSL Lite: $19.95 per month
FastAccess DSL Ultra: $32.95 per month
FastAccess DSL Xtreme: $37.95 per month
FastAccess DSL Xtreme 6.0: $42.95 per month
FastAccess DSL Direct Plans
FastAccess DSL Direct 768K: $19.95 per month
FastAccess DSL Direct 1.5M: $37.95 per month
FastAccess DSL Direct 3.0M: $42.95 per month
FastAccess DSL Direct 6.0M: $47.95 per month
Pricing for new residential customers only.
If you are receiving a bundle discount, any changes you make to your FastAccess DSL service may affect your discount.
Billing for your FastAccess DSL and any added features will begin when your order is complete, which is typically within five days from the date you placed your order."
It looks like Stand Alone FastAccess is now called FastAccess DSL Direct.
It now looks like you can get any tier of FastAccess DSL without POTS.
I think that this FastAccess DSL Direct 768 for $19.95 is offered now because of the conditions imposed under the FCC merger agreement.

Re: Naked DSL
$10 POTS = $20 after taxes/fees/unfees/USF/FUSF/bonds , etc.
Lets put it this way:
POTS Unlimited = $40/month (+$4.99 Canadian for me), = $60/month after taxes/fees/unfees/regulatory BS.
Many fees are flat rate

said by wolfox :Do you or anyone know if they are offering their Elite 6mb/sec service over a dry copper pair? No. When I spoke to a rep to order naked DSL, I was told that is only offered to those that want U-Verse. The 1.5 mbps and 3.0 mbps are only offered for the dry-pair DSL. Yes, I did order mine earlier this month. What I found rather interesting is the rep told me if I would've ordered DSL with a phone line I would've been active within a day. When ordering the dry loop, it takes them a week before it becomes active. I ordered on November 5th and was told it would be on on November 15th. I checked throughout the week and lo and behold I was active on November 12th (Veterans' Day observed). |

| Can Be Done in Central IL
I am in the central IL AT&T market. In October I cancelled all AT&T services (DSL, landline, Dish) and switched to cable internet, TV, and Vonage. When I called to cancel the DSL the CSR willingly offered 'dry loop DSL' as she called it. Funny thing was that she didn't know how much it was. I confessed to her that I knew about the 'dry loop' and that it was $28.99 for 3 meg which is what I had been getting. However, I told her that I didn't see the logic in paying $29 for DSL alone when I have a bundle deal with cable for $1 more, which is over 3x the d/l speed and twice the upload speed.
So, at some point in the future with Comcast taking over our cable market I expect speeds to decrease and/or prices to increase. It's nice to know that I can switch back to DSL for under $30/month and still use Vonage. |

Re: FastAccess DSL Direct Plans.
Would be nice if you could order dry DSL online. Ordering online only allows you to order with existing or new landline phone service. |
