You are wrong. After getting a special number ( 1-800-288-2020) i was able to order dsl from att without a landline contract and phone taxes from California. Nothing.

Catch is, the advertised price of $25/mo for 6mbps only last one year, and you have to sign up for two years, paying $55/mo on the second.

Still beats paying $40 all around for the crappy cable latency i get here (at One block from the att repeater building!)

Look, the 2882020 # is not special... That's the main AT&T customer service number.

You're wrong. If you call AT&T, inside of their systems, they can only group dsl orders based on phone numbers. So even if they tell you you're not getting dial tone, in their system, you are getting dial tone.

This has to do with very interesting regulations from the FCC which I don't care to dive into now.

The special rate you got is the same rate you'd get by walking into an AT&T store...

So in both cases you pay $960 for 2 years, except in one case you don't get a phone line.

your math is off. And i don't get a phone in either cases.

one option is ADSL without a phone line taxes.

other option is cable. also, without a phone for obvious reasons
