A while back, I noticed that AT&T is offering DSL without requiring phone service. This is sometimes referred to as “dry dsl” or “naked dsl”.  For about $29 per month, you can get 3.0Mbps down and 512Kbps up high speed internet connection.  This also gives you free internet service from AT&T’s wireless access points across the US.  This service would normally cost $39 per month, so if you need it, this can work out to be a very good deal.

More recently, I found I could upgrade to the 6.0/768k internet service for about $34 per month.  Personally, I wish they offered significantly faster upload speeds. I do a lot of online meetings where I share my screen and the lower speeds cause problems.

This “DSL without phone service” package is something fairly new.  It sounds like they were forced to offer this as a condition of some merger.  I know a lot of people who don’t have a normal land line telephone that have been stuck using a cable modem because the combined cost of a phone line plus DSL was greater than the cable modem charges.  The new service offers these people some additional options.

If you can’t find it on their website, you may have to call and ask about it.  They tend to downplay this option because they make a lot more money by selling you bundled services with phone, internet, and television for one price.
