AT&T adds DSL tier and new pricing

AT&T today announced new simplified consumer broadband pricing that includes month-to-month rates and added a new speed tier at 6 Mb/s downstream.

The new pricing is available to consumers regardless of whether they order online, by phone or at a retail outlet. Previous bargains were often only available online. Consumers now can also choose a one-year contract and receive on month’s service, or they can sign up without making a term commitment.

AT&T now offers four tiers of Internet access: Basic service for 768 kb/s downstream and 384 kb/s upstream is $14.99 a month; Express service for up to 1.5 Mb/s downstream and up to 384 kb/s upstream is $19.99 a month; Pro service for up to 3.0 Mb/s downstream and 512 kb/s upstream costs $24.99 a month; and Elite service, featuring up to 6.0 Mb/s downstream and up to 768 kb/s upstream, costs $34.99 a month.

“As the broadband market has changed and grown, so have consumers’ needs. We’ve listened to their requests for easy-to-understand, great rates with the flexibility of month-to-month service, and we’ve responded,” said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer of AT&T Consumer, in a prepared statement. “With offers starting at under $15 a month, we’re offering the fastest Internet in town for the price.”
