Maybe on bundled services, but the broadband is $15 higher per month than the comparable Insight plan. Plus, did you see the crap they posted on the broadband comparisons? According to AT&T you need the 12Mbps service to use email and send photos. You need the 18Mbps (top of line) to view streamin

I wish the AT&T guy would tell me it is available in rural Shellby County. Maybe I better sell the farm and move into town. My only choice under sixty-plus bucks per mo. is my old, slow dial up, and would you believe that on a good day I might download at 3kb. Last week even my AT&T phon

The only issue I have is Tivo. We watch Tivo not TV so. Using a cable DVR is not the same. As I use Toast to automatically download and encode shows that I watch at Lunch at work and that is not possible with a straight DVR. You can use a series 2 Tivo like I have on their system but it is tri
