I am spending over $100 a month with ATT for DSL and a land line I NEVER use. Seems a little steep to me, what?

Question

company would be best to just get DSL service?

Answer 1

drop the land line, and get dryloop DSL - should cost no more than about $25 - 30/mo



for $100/mo you could get cable TV, cable modem, and phone service from most cable providers, or Fios (verizon) / Uverse (at&t) and your internet would be at least 5 times faster..

Answer 2

What you pay for Internet service is dependent on three factors.



1. Where you live - Which means your exact address. Not all types of Internet services are available in all areas. Some services, particularly DSL, are very distance sensitive. For example you might be able to get a specific level of service while your next door neighbor can't.



2. How fast you want to go - Internet speeds and pricing vary by geographical area. Download speeds as fast as 105 Mbps can be found in some locations, however these high end broadband plans are very expensive. You may find that something in the 5 to 30 Mbps range might satisfy your needs at a much lower cost. If you don't now how fast your current Internet service is, you can go to http://speedtest.net and test it.



3. Who you get it from - Internet services are provided by local and regional cable and telephone providers and pricing can be in a wide range. You can also get wireless mobile broadband Internet from cellular phone providers, although I wouldn't recommend it for home use due to the low monthly bandwidth limits.



You'll also pay extra for add-ons or bundled services. Although these can be a good deal if you need the extra services, they are a waste of money if you don't. Most DSL providers offer DRY-LOOP DSL, which is just DSL Internet service without an active dial tone or land-line service.



If you are interested in Florida broadband Internet then go to a ISP comparison site that lets you input your address, http://isp1.us/find/ and compare the pricing and terms of the offers that are available in your area



You'll want to pick the fastest plan that fits your usage and budget.



Good Luck...

Answer 3

I have a phone and DSL with AT&T, and my bill is less than $23 a month....Get rid of any bells and whistles on your phone you do not need, including long distance carrier, call waiting, caller ID, etc. I put my landline phone on a 'Measured Rate' service, which is rather cheap, and gives you 60 calls a month (local) a few cents more per call over that...(Or go with dry DSL).. MY DSL is only $14.95 for 3 Mbps.!! (AT&T)

Try http://www.dslreports.com and look for your specific zip code to see what service providers are in your area. While you're at it, check with your local cable company and see if they have any package deals. In our area, Time Warner as a 12-month introductory offer of telephone and Roadrunner service for $30 a month. We're paying about $69 for the two services and the RR is 12 down and the phone is unlimited US calls (We never call Canada so I don't know about that).

Answer 5

You can get bare DSL service through ATT.
