Yeah - lol, will they let you cancel and reconnect? We're paying $49.95/mo....
Except for the fact that you will have to pay $50 service activation & the modem is leased unless you commit for 1 year.Originally posted by: cashman
Yea, I guess you could and just make a new service. It may take a couple hours to do but I could get a second ethernet modem for free which is hot, those go for a lot of money. I am paying 45 dollars a month because I have the Complete Choice Plan with Bellsouth anyways....

Rumor has it that switching to Supra can end up killing your DSL. Can't confirm but people have gotten letters saying bellsouth will be terminating their service. I read this over at the bellsouth forums @ Dslreports.To make this deal even hotter make sure your not getting raped by Bellsouth on the phone line by using Supra Telecom as your service provider. It will cut your local phone bill in half and will be using Bellsouth's lines.

Ummm...perhaps I was referring to the post by clarkmo in which he refers to DirecTV DSL?

Doesn't look too bad to me.
I've been a DirecTV DSL customer for several months now and they are 100% up 'till now!
Besides that, DSL is DSL and Satellite is Satellite & NOT - DSL.

I have had both for over 1 and 1/2 years and I received the letter about 6 months ago. It's not from Bellsouth & it's not saying they will be terminating your service. It was a petition to make sure Bellsouth will be unable to terminate your DSL service. I'll admit it looked scary when I got it until I actually read it. I still have DSL & in the mean time I have saved over $500 on my local phone service & have more features. IF & WHEN the time comes I'll deal with it but in the meantime I will continue to rake in the savings & better service.
