While I pay $45 for cable at 4600 kpbs, my neighbors pay $17 for 360 kpbs dsl.
They are happy to have always available connects and the snail download speeds are ok. AT&T is thrilled to have them.
Why would AT&T increase performance to customers who haven't the slightest clue?

If you can get 5 times faster for $5 or $10 a month more, go for it. Cable is billing itself as a "deluxe" service, and overall prices itself accordingly. The bells are working on entry level broadband converts while they build a fiber network to compete. If you think that the telcos are forcing 768 DSL on people who would rather have 15mb, you must not be watching the ads touting "My DSL is so much faster than dial-up."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16481405 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 21:47:45 EDT Re: avg rate is not 34.99 for dsl http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16481302 fiberguy :

And 5 times faster isn't important to the $14.95 DSL buyer.
Speak for yourself. Many people want the price AND the speed. Until you do a scientific survey or study, you are not qualified to make such a statement.

Hell, you only have to go as far as BBR here to see that people believe that 15mb or 30mb speeds should be priced at about $20.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16481302 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 21:35:39 EDT Re: avg rate is not 34.99 for dsl http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16480247 wev567 : How much is yer cable? Even if the "fees" are 6.95 a month (which I doubt), yer cable would have to be $24 or so to be the same.

Remember the $29.99 is just the base, now add all the "fees".
YEAH!. take your bottom basement DSL at $14.99/mo and after all the bull$hit fees, you are up to cable pricing. only cable at that price is like 5 times faster that that DSL.

$12.99 per month is 12-month promotional rate for AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Express with an ongoing rate of $29.99 per month after the promotional term
It is the average rate when you're not counting the promotional 12 month offer. Also, that offer is not available to everyone so the average rate on the article isn't off by a large margin.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16477575 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 12:35:38 EDT Re: avg rate is not 34.99 for dsl http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16477531 averagedude : Remember the $29.99 is just the base, now add all the "fees".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16477531 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 12:29:57 EDT avg rate is not 34.99 for dsl http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16477284 lvas : $12.99 per month is 12-month promotional rate for AT&T Yahoo!
