Jun 26, 2007 -- A cheaper internet deal from AT&T
AT&T has done something unethical. When they took over Bellsouth, as part of the deal they were forced to offer an inexpensive plan as one option. They did, offering a slower (768k) DSL connection at $10 per month. It's a great deal. But they hide the link to this service on the website, making it almost impossible to find if you don't know where to look! Well, Clark thinks this stinks, and wants you to know how to find the deal. Here's how:
This direct link will show you all the details:

Or, navigate to it this way:
Go to att.com
Click "View Internet services"
Scroll down page, and just above Terms and Conditions look for the text link that says "Term contract plans available"
See "FastAccess DSL Lite with term agreement" and follow the instructions from there!
