This just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper! SBCYahoo DSL broadband service is now only $15 per month for the 1.5mbps DSL.

I'm tempted to switch over to their "Pro" service that offers 3mbps for $25. The only thing is I'd have to drop my current VoIP service I think. Currently paying $44 a month for Time-Warner cable service that is something like 4mbps and that has been slowing WAY down in the evenings a lot lately.

Thats a steal of a deal. I pay 19 bucks for SBC. I have had dsl or cable since 2000 the only way to go if you can. I had to us dial up for about 3 months when I moved and I about went crazy, spend all day just trying to pull up a few pages. I feel bad for people in the country that have no real options. I like SBC, have has them since Jan 2003 have not had any problems with them once it got set up. Had a few problems getting it set up, they didn’t know what the heck they were doing but once it was up.

Peckerwoods told me it isn't available in my area.

The way I read the promo, those prices are only good for the first year, then they go up to the standard rate. Did I read that correctly?

KoG · 06-03-2005, 03:08 AM

You are correct. I think the rate goes up to $30 or something.

In my experience the rate did NOT go up after the first year. I used to have SBC DSL. When the year ended the price stayed the same. Then I called them up and asked them to lower it to the current promo price and they DID! I think the reason they lock you into a year contract is so that they don't have to lower it when other promos come out. Like the guy that pays $19 a month might want the $15 price. I'm not guaranteeing that the price won't go up but that's not what happened in my case.
