Update on the AT&T $10 DSL

One of my readers left an informative comment on yesterday’s post: AT&T quietly offers $10 DSL plan.

One man’s pain is another man’s entertainment.

Mr Magoo, sorry for you pain, but thanks for taking one for the team and letting us know what you found out.  Job well done!

UPDATE:

Here’s the link to the hard to find AT&T webpage.  Turns out it’s actually a Bellsouth webpage, and that’s why it’s hard to find.

It also appears that the new $10 DSL offer is for new customers only and existing customers can’t trade down.  Source
