   EV> TW>After a several year delay o nupgrading m,y area to high Speed DSL they   
   EV> TW>finally did it and now i am getting annoying calls form AT&T as a   
   EV> TW>former customer to come back to their upgraded DSL   
      
   EV> DS>   I kept getting letters from AT&T, saying their DSL was   
   EV> DS> available in my area, at a cheaper cost than Comcast Cable.   
   EV> DS> Well, every time I checked, I found that AT&T DSL was NOT   
   EV> DS> available in my area...yet they kept sending me letters on   
   EV> DS> such.   
      
   EV> DS>   I finally decided to stay with Comcast, and have gotten   
   EV> DS> better service in the central Arkansas area with   
   EV> DS> them...especially since their west Little Rock office is only a   
   EV> DS> mile from my apartment. :) But, when AT&T calls, I tell them   
   EV> DS> "it's your loss"...as "they kept dropping the ball, and   
   EV> DS> basically lying to me". I don't even have a "vanilla" phone   
   EV> DS> line from them.   
      
   EV>Howdy! Daryl and Tom,   
      
   EV>This afternoon my wife saw the U-Verse commercial saying $14.00USD for   
   EV>internet.   
      
   EV>I mentioned that I thought that is only if we bought a package that had   
   EV>another service - Phone or Cable TV with the internet service too.   
      
   AT&T does offer stand alone U-verst Inetenet. Btu rembember aftter the   
   suck you in promo price there is aa significant price increase for   
   continued serviceAnd as I recal the $14.00 price is for 3.0 Mpbs   
   service.   
   Then it jumps to $30
