1 edit | SBC lowers pricing to $19.95 w/o bundling LD
SBC has lowered their pricing to $19.95 for the Express Pkg and $29.99 for the Pro. There is no need to have the All-Distance package with this promotion. |

But there's a catch. The All Distance Package costs $48.95 a month, putting the total price of the DSL and phone package at nearly $70 a month. SBC's most popular price plan up to now costs $26.95 a month but does not require people to buy All Distance. For unlimited local phone calls, SBC charges $10.69 a month, keeping the total package under $40.

Apparently the author of the article is either not aware of or chose to ignore the various taxes and fees associated with phone service in computing the total price numbers  |

I am a bit confused here. IF I go to sbc.com and run through the packages I see the same prices $19.99 and $29.99. I don't see anything about purchasing the all distance packages other than this. I have a 2nd line and the 29.99 sounds pretty good so my kid stops eating up my bandwidth.

Not to put down, OnTheNet, but Annonamoose would be a better source on confirmation of this. As the moose stated:

So, you DO need to have the All Distance Package and commit to it for one year. |

For the next 31 days, new residential subscribers to SBC Yahoo! DSL Express service who order online through sbc.com or sbc.yahoo.com will receive 12 months of the popular high-speed Internet access service for only $19.95 a month. The price —lower than any other similar offers by leading U.S. providers — requires only a one-year term commitment and SBC local phone service.
I dont know what to say now...

I would come back to SBC in a heartbeat if they would just get the static prices in line. |

Ok, so that means that I can get the 29.99 PRO package on the 2nd line that does not have DSL on it now. Without subscribing to the all distance package. I guess a call or 3 is in order to make sure everyone says the same thing. |

Sorry, OnTheNet, its just that when we see items like this, we are usually skeptical until confirmation or press release. |

But what about the current SBC customer. I just signed up for the PRO package (active as of this week). I guess I'm SOL. Right?

Well now that opens up a whole new idea. That original link CLEARLY showed that you still needed the all distance package. But hey, it's official and great for competition! I was waiting for them to drop that requirement, Time Warner has an Ad on the radio around here making fun of it and saying how you need to subscribe to a $48 phone plan.
Props SBC! My apologies to OnTheNet though that link took me to an article that you still need the package.

I would also like to know about existing subscribers. I'm currently on the $26.95/mo (Express) plan, and obviously already have SBC local phone service. I'd sure love to upgrade to Pro for $3.04 more per month.
BTW, this news is being featured on c|net's News.Com:

Ok, a new deal for newcomers to the service.
What about all of us 'loyal' customers?
I am still at I think 36.95 for the pro package.
That is before all the TAX, TAX, TAX, FEE, FEE, FEE stuff on the bill, of course. So it actually is more like $40 or so in the end. |

The only way to get the new price is to disconnect service and then subscribe at the new rate. This really sucks!

no suprise really....
its just a promotion to get more people to sign up.. they dont want current customers to get the lower price.
just a question tho, what if you called in and started a new 12mo contract? would they re-rate you at the $29.99?
