Question
SBC At&t dsl monopoly?
At&t Plans to buy more phone companys. Sell u DSL 14.99 get u hooked then raise the prise. Cause u to get angery call in tell them & they dont care. Angery because they raised the price & u think well I dont wanna pay cable internet because its 40.00. The only reason I signed up is because At&t had 14.99 dsl. & they are graduly forcing me to pay more. offering new costomers the 14.99. I cant sign up for other DSl companys because there is hardly none. sonic is the only one maybee couple of other ones , but at&t forces them to do what thay say. its not fair pick. u dont have barly no other dsl companys to pick from. I have been with them for 3 years & now Im angery. If u feel like at&t is playing monoply report it to the city coucil, you local mayor, or sue them. report it to the Beter buss. buru to hold them to there actions . Monoply is rong. u should have the rite to pick your dsl provider good luck

First of all, if you expect anyone to take you seriously you REALLY need to learn to spell: PRICE not prise. ANGRY not angery. GRADUALLY not graduly. CUSTOMERS not costomers. WRONG not rong. BUREAU not buru. And there are more... Anyway...AT&T has surely covered all the bases of monopoly laws. What you signed up for was probably a program that said $14.99 for so-many months then the price goes up. I've seen that. Write the Better Business Bureau and your local government. Maybe in the future AT&T will change their pricing structure. Good luck!

If you feel like it's a monopoly you need to take your concerns to the antitrust division of the Justice Department. Local authorities don't have controls over what is not AT&T. The FCC does, but your concern is with anti-competitive policies. As for the bait and switch, your contract clearly states your initial rate for DSL service is not guanranteed after a certain time.
