Advice for asking AT&T for a DSL upgrade?
954982
There's really no secret to it.  They'll give you the updated deal if you just ask.  Tell them you heard about the new deal and you'd like to switch to that plan instead.  I did it several times with no issue.  However, you won't be able to cancel your phone line.  That's required to have DSL when with AT&T.  There's no way around that one.  Also, you may not even be able to get the higher speed because it's dependent on how far you are from one of their hubs.\n\nIn the end (since you have to have a phone line and slower speeds) I switched back to cable.  It's far faster and the prices are really close to the same.

Without paying more to your ISP? Let me know when you figure it out.

Check out:\n\nhttp://dsl.metrot1.com\n\nIt checks availability for DSL, Cable, and Satellite.  It will then allow you to compare them side by side, see any specials, and sign-up online.  They are even offering a $50 additional mail-in rebate on top of specials for signing up online.

Not enough info. DSL? Verizon contract?

Verizon DSL is offering a special at this time for $17.95 per month.\nI've had it for well over a year and it seems to be very good.

There are many areas of the company still not wired for broadband or DSL; that's unfortunately a function of the companies that are servicing your area.  If your community has cable TV, contact the provider(s) and find out when they will be offering it.  Same thing with your local phone company: call them and find out when DSL will be available.\n\nIt's happening..but it's definitely happening slowly.

Oh, I don't even know where to start my complaint, hmm, let's see, the day I f-ing ordered it sounds good.  I do pay with automatic billing but its my choice.  What is killing me is they get me to bundle sevices and then come back after 6-12 months and jack the price for DSL up even more.  I deplore them.

go to http://promo.yahoo.com/att/toolbar and follow the links - the "upgrade now" link on the right hand side.\n\nYou have to be subscribed to AT&T Yahoo! to access the download pages, but anyone can access the page listed above.

Yahoo and SBC offer DSL for $16.95/month right now.  I still can't believe it when I find people in my area still using dial up.  If it's not available in your area, call your local providers and complain about their price.  Also call your state's corporation commission and complain there too.  Broad band should be very cheap everywhere, but just isn't yet.\n\nThough I use cable for my Inet connection.  I get 9MBit/sec with cable, can only get 1.5Mbit/sec with DSL.  But, then again, I'm paying $55/month.

You need to call AT&T and ask; right now we are rolling out FTTN {Fiber to the Node} with the intention to use it to proved all of your communication needs.  I believe that is what you are referring to, but I am not at work, so I cannot look it up {they call it a number of different things in different places because of all of our recent mergers}.  If it is, you will be one lucky sap bro, they are going in hot in heavy to buy the market from the competition, the prices will rise in the future of course, but they are intending to provide your TV, Phone and Internet connection for about $80, it will be a steel, get in on it if you can.  You will not be able to beat the speed or quality of this connection, when you get it.\n\nThe reason why I believe it is that is because there has been no announcement of change the DSL title to High Speed and I think they would want that known company wide, they are trying to get everyone on the same page as fast as they can.\n\nJohn B.

Make sure you have filters on all your phone lines, including any TV boxes that use the phone. This can cause slowness. You can check with the manual and see if you can access the DSL router to see what DL and UP speeds you are at. If you are below what is promised then check with the company. If you are above where you are supposed to be then either live with what you have or call the company, pay more to upgrade. This is all dependant on how your DSL is setup and it may not be the same way I am familiar with. They also have Internet Speed Check's that you can use to check your speed. That will give you an idea if you are at a good speed for DSL. \n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html

Cable or DSL\n\nFind out who in your area provides these, compare rates, and find the one that is best for you.

Do you have DSL? If so, USB DSL modems suck. Even if you do get it working, you will have problems again in the future. Call you DSL provider and tell them that your modem is defective, and that you want an ethernet modem. Ethernet modems work way better.\n\nI use to be a DSL tech for AT&T. If I was on a repair job and I saw the customer had a USB DSL I'd replace it because I knew I saw saving myself a trip back out there.

have been using verizon for phone ( years now) and internet for almost a year  and am actually very happy with the dsl service . right now i pay $17.15 a month for dsl which includes the fees and tax .price could possibly vary depending on where you live .  have not checked into package prices with the option adding the satellite dish , casue as a renter not allowed to have satellite . \ni have heard rumors my dsl price will be going up when my year aggreement needs to be renewed ??  did have some installation problems with dsl and verizon cust. service was very helpful . i would say it might be worth it to try and you have 30 days to cancel if your not happy.
