AT&T to Offer Semi-Clothed DSL

It’s not yet full naked DSL because customers will still have to subscribe to local phone service and that’s at least $20 a month (if not more when taxes kick in?). In six months, and not a day sooner I am positive, AT&T will offer a full naked DSL package for around $20 a month.

Let’s face it, AT&T is doing this because they have to and not because they are committed to it. The 768kbps download speed is less than the upload connection on the broadband connection at my house, and based on my personal experiences with VOIP I would caution anyone considering it to not try it on this DSL connection.

My prediction is that AT&T will dump this plan and push as many customers into their triple play option the day the FCC looks away. Consumers won’t get relief from predatory telco practices until we get real competition in the marketplace. I keep holding out hope for Wimax (Clearwire being in the lead) but my patience is strained with each passing day.
