I asked if I could "go naked" and SBC said "no", so I moved to cable technology...wonder if I show up on their metrics as "no demand"???]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13487461 Tue, 24 May 2005 22:13:05 EDT Re: Few want naked DSL? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13482386 richdelb :

Keep paying for cable/sat, you pay for about 100 channels you newver watch. Whan will they have a a la carte TV service? I am tired of paying for HGTV and other channels I never watch.
Sure got that right, but with a cable I DO use /want some of those channels.

With a POTS line, I don't want it at all, so the comparison is not the same.

A la Carte cable / sat is something that I support 100% but that's not really what the topic is about.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13482386 Tue, 24 May 2005 11:30:59 EDT Re: Few want naked DSL? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13482282 mahony : Richdelb said

It simply is not an option, no matter the speed, or cost.

I have no need for a POTS line. Why pay all that extra money for DSL? It's simply a surcharge. $29.95 a month for DSL PLUS 15 extra bucks for a land line? (and all it's taxes and "fees") (On a side note, one could argue that a POTS line is just another SBC created fee for the use of it's DSL service...)

Thanks, really, but I'll pass on DSL.

Look.. I am paying for cable internet, so the cost isn't the issue for me. It's the fact that I'd have to pay for something that I DO NOT WANT, in order to get what I do want.

I'm making no judgement on the ACTUAL DSL service here, just to be clear...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13481892 Tue, 24 May 2005 10:17:05 EDT Few want naked DSL? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13481431 Dissman : Well, we dont want *forced* bundling either. To get the special discount rate, you have to be signed up to a near perpetual contract with some obnoxiously expensive phone plan or with Dish Network. Plus, i'm stuck with a phone line that i dont even use that costs me like $15.00 a month. SBC internet at $53.95 a month is no deal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13481431 Tue, 24 May 2005 09:03:26 EDT
