Comments on: BellSouth DSL for $10 http://gigaom.com/2005/03/28/bellsouth-dsl-for-10/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:48:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Marc http://gigaom.com/2005/03/28/bellsouth-dsl-for-10/#comment-101382 Wed, 17 Aug 2005 14:34:05 +0000 http://gigaom.wordpress.com/2005/03/28/bellsouth-dsl-for-10/#comment-101382 This is stupid. I’m trying to find valid information on the requirements of DSL and POTS ordering and all y’all sounds like a bunch of 7 year olds with stupid little egos trying to argue about petty information.

Do you guys ever get laid?

And your ADSL will cost $33 after the first 3 promo months. So you’re gonna end up with ~$120/mth bill. This is supposed to be a breakthrough?

I would still have BellSouth FastAccess service if they didn’t require a phone line. However, when I moved I decided to cut costs and just use my cellphone as my primary phone. So then, my only choice for broadband was Comcast cable as BellSouth says they won’t let me have their DSL service without a phone line I don’t want or need.

You get a cookie if you said “more then they are charging their own customers for the service”.

The 9.95 offer is for “DSL Lite” 256/256
and has been running since last year.
