I think ATT tried to scam me:
Three weeks ago I was told I could downgrade my residential service to "Stand Alone DSL" for $19.95 a month (this is basic DSL without a phone).
Today when I called to go ahead with the "Stand Alone DSL" phone rep #1 tells me it is not available, and that what I wanted would cost ~$37.95/month. I insisted that I was quoted a price of $19.95/month for "stand alone DSL", but could not convince the guy to recheck his facts.
I hung up, then held again for 20-30 minutes and spoke to phone rep #2. Except this time I said, "I am thinking of **canceling** my service", now this time rep #2 cheerfully confirms the availability of 'Stand Alone DSL' for $19.95/month.
Sounds like scammy used car dealers to me; what do you think? One misinformed rep? OR standard sales tactic?
