SBC cuts DSL prices to spark subscriber growth NEW YORK, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Local telephone company SBC Communications Inc. (NYSE:SBC - ) said on Monday it would cut its monthly charges and waive equipment and installation fees for its high-speed digital subscriber line (DSL) Internet service in an effort to attract more subscribers. SBC now will charge $39.95 a month for its basic DSL Internet service, which is about $10 less than its previous prices, and offer free equipment and installation, saving customers more than $300. The promotion is available through April 30 to new and existing customers. ''The aggressive pricing and free installation and equipment will enable even more consumers and businesses to experience the benefits of our lightening-fast, always-on DSL Internet service, and will significantly accelerate our subscriber growth,'' said Valeri Marks, chief executive of SBC Internet Services. By taking advantage of unused capacity on existing copper telephone lines, DSL technology allows customers to use a single phone line to send faxes or make phone calls while surfing the Internet. The DSL Internet service is about 50 times faster than services using standard dial-up modems. Under a $6 billion program called Project Pronto, SBC is expanding its DSL services. About 12 million homes and businesses can now receive the high-speed service and SBC could exceed its initial goal of 16 million DSL-eligible homes and business at the end of 2000. Shares of SBC fell 7/16 to 39-3/4 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Re. PacBell DSL: 1) They are bundling with Alcatel modems; a competitor of Aware, I believe. 2) FWIW: We ordered and got their equipment installed without hassles. A small technical glitch when they tried it out (a mistake in a table entry), but otherwise beautiful. And once up, it has stayed up for months, now. Hard to even contemplate going back to a modem (dial-in ...... connect ..... slow ......) However, it did require a truck roll and a few hours of a technician's time to set it up. Multiply that by a few hundred thousand and I can appreciate the attraction of Aware's G.lite or the use of microfilters (no truck-roll).
