Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the add-a-rheostat-and-a-quarter-slot dept.

Joey Patterson writes "It had to happen sooner or later. CNET reports that AT&T Broadband has introduced a tiered pricing plan called UltraLink (3 Mbps down/384 kbps up) for $79.99/month if you buy your own modem and $82.95/month if you lease one of theirs."

    As I understand it, a T1 is 1.544Mbps (grated both ways, but it is a total), this give you 3Mbps DL. DOesn't this mean that you are getting about 2 T1s down at $80 per month, when they are payin, by your estimate "hundreds" for a T1?
    (A friend has a T1 for his business and pays somewhere between $1400 and $1800 per month.)
