| said by mackey:The plan she's on is $30, they didn't wave the $149 installation charge (like they do when you order online), and there was a 2nd, prorated month on that bill. Throw in the $100 for equipment and you can get to $337 pretty quickly. Her mistake was ordering through a phone rep and not online (thus getting whacked with both the $149 install charge and not getting the free equipment) and if you look closely, the "**" for "Monthly Charges Total**" says "**This total reflects available discounts. Because AT&T bills one month in advance, your first bill will include charges for one full month of service, plus a partial month from the date of installation to the start of your monthly billing period." so the first bill is going to be up to double (depending on how far into the billing cycle the install date is).

| Exactly how is she going to order on-line, when at&t cut off her internet access??
Seams to me At&t breached her contract/service agreement, most likely mid month for a paid up service. At&t should bear the full costs of restoring her service or providing an alternate service. |

Work, friend, smartphone, public library, Starbucks, Panera, etc. If you want to get online you can find a way. Or you can just make excuses...
If she was still on DSL then there's no way she was in a contract. No contract, either party can terminate service at any time.
I highly doubt they killed her service mid-billing cycle. Once they killed her service at the end of the cycle, if she had the Uverse service installed soon after then that $337 includes almost 2 whole months of service (~3 weeks prorated + the next full month).
