AT&T quietly introduces $10 DSL plan
Without any sort of fanfare, AT&T Inc. has started offering a broadband Internet service for $10 a month, half the price of its cheapest advertised plan. The service provides download speeds of up to 768 kilobits per second and upload speeds of up to 128 kbps, matching AT&T’s $19.95 plan. The agreement with the FCC required the company to offer the plan for at least 2 1/2 years. Coe said he could not comment on future advertising plans for the offer.
The $10 offer is available to customers in the 22-state AT&T service region, which includes former BellSouth areas, who have never had AT&T or BellSouth broadband, spokesman Michael Coe confirmed Monday. Local phone service and a one-year contract are required. The modem is free. The agreement with the FCC required the company to offer the plan for at least 2 1/2 years.
