11/1 I'm moving from a home in Fremont to another home within the same ZIP
code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home. Is that BS?
Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
U-verse service? I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.

I just want to keep my low-end 1.5Mbps service. I'd think DSL is such
a basic thing in the Bay Area now and should be available anywhere
with analog phone wires. Thanks.
\_ I live in Fremont, and used AT&T (previously SBC) DSL for many
years in my last apartment at up to 3Mbps. When I moved into my
current house three years ago, they tried for two months to get
DSL to work at any speed, and failed. I've been using Comcast
ever since. DSL is dependent on short distances to the phone
company's office, and my impression that there just aren't enough
of them in Fremont to adequately cover the city for DSL (for much
of the city, the phone company's CO is just too far away). AT&T
keeps making promises about Uverse in Fremont, but they haven't
followed through on that either.
\_ (12/3 update) I finally signed up for U-verse for internet only and
no digital phone nor TV. To my surprise, the U-verse modem
connects to the phone jack on the wall just like the DSL modem at
my old home, instead of to the cable TV jack. Then doesn't it mean
that the U-verse modem is just another DSL modem, and U-verse
service is just another DSL service? -- OP |
