| Awesome!
I've been waiting to hear more "official" news on this ever since one of the ASI/SBC techs mentioned it in a comment on another story.  -- Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat. | |

Check out their competition - DSL extreme is offering that for the same price - SBC requires LD bundling to get their prices

I can get (and probably will get) their 6000/608 with 5 static IP's for $59.99 | |

| Re: Awesome! Yea...good for us folk running servers.
SBC's most BASIC static IP package runs $55 a month for 300/128 & 5 static IPs...for an extra $5, DSL Extreme puts you on 6000/608 over SBC's own lines!
I'm guessing SBC doesn't want any static IP customers! | |

| You must know that DSLextreme is a reseller SBC and Verizon? So, this is a hint ... If DSL extreme going to have that plan, SBC will also have a similar priced plan.
BUT, beware of SBC static IPs, they're sticky IP, not real static. -- Who dat? Who dere? | |

| Wow that's AWESOME! If you're in California. Unfortunately 2/3rd's (roughly?) of SBC's customers aren't in Cali so that doesn't help us  -- Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat. | |

| They better get it right this time. RT users (Expert - 1.5/128) are still on 160kbps sync rate, while CO customers are on 256.
And they were suppose to give the upload increase by the end of the 2nd quarter. -- Who dat? Who dere? | |

| Actually RT customers are required to make a change to their contract to be rerated to the 256k upload.. its been set for quite some time.. all you have to do is call and say you want to renew your year contract from todays date and tehy will put it through and you will get the higher speeds. All new RT based lines have been getting 256k for quite a while... | |

| Yeah yeah yeah... In Connecticut we've learned that SBC announcing availabilty means we won't get it. We've been told of this since the beginning of the yr, and a lot of folks, esp on RT are STILL stuck @ 128up.
O. Please dont get me started. | |
