June 21, 2007 | 1 Comment
An interesting discussion is floating around the Internet this week. It seems that the new Ma Bell has a secret: DSL for only $10 per month.
You see, the FCC required AT&T to offer this discounted DSL service to its customers, along with “naked DSL” service which doesn’t require telephone service, as part of the [...]
