Today I made the mistake of calling ATT to get a simple question answered before buying their "Basic" 768K DSL. After one of those nightmarish jack-arounds that lasted for nearly twenty minutes without getting my question answered, I hung up on the creep and didn't buy...but listen to what he told me, during what was one of the most relentless bait-and-switch efforts I have EVER encountered:
The 768K Basic DSL is "only slightly faster than dialup." [!!!]
ATT's site says "10X faster than dialup."
Who's lying at ATT?
But a nominal 768K DSL should be almost 15X faster than a nominal
54K v.90 modem (especially in advertising puffery), right?Can anyone explain this mystery math?
Thanks!
