Att has now $20 a month naked dsl. Couple questions...1. Does ATT add taxes? Is DSL as good as cable for voip? 3. How much for the modem and install? 4. How long will it be that price?

My cable is raising rates to $24 a month. So thinking of switching, since I refuse to take raises in rates on a product that cost them little or nothing to provide, every 6 months. (Like their $40 a month voip; I got two lines for zero a month with two separate carriers.)

1. NO

2. Can be used for VOIP. The $20 DSL - ATA device must be adjusted for lower speed but VOIP is acceptable - Higher speed DSL recommended.

3. Zero. Modem is included and do it youself Easy installation.

4. One year, Year Two will go to $40. per month (regular rate).

Verizon DSL is cheaper and a better deal.

I think #4 is a killer. Thanks~

For the $19.95/1yr deal, I believe the speed is 768k down. Their website does not list the regular price for that speed, but it is probably $30 or so since the non-contract price of $40/month is for 3000k and $35/month is for 1500k.

From their site, it also appears you must purchase the modem separately though you might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.

As far as VOIP goes, the cheapest package gives you 384k upload. I would think that is enough, but I do not have enough experience with that technology to give you a definitive answer.

You are right. I stand corrected. $19.95 is a one yr rate renewable plus $62 for Modem.

I have ATT/Yahoo brand for 19.95. It has slowed a bit in the past few months, even so it's still a better deal than cable at 50+ a month.

I don't know that it is only for a year of service though. I signed up last year, and the rates are not supposed to change (until they have to change them to adjust for inflation like everything else you buy).

You can always purchase a modem from Best Buy, but purchasing from them is a bit easier on the wallet by a few dollars.

btw--where the hey do you live that you get a cable connection for 24.00 monthly? Wow! If cable were that cheap here, I would have it. Providing it doesn't change after 6 months or a year.

$24.95 - Comcast - speed 768/128 in NNJ if you request it.
