BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Dec 15 (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. on Tuesday set a new top-tier monthly price for its WorldNet Internet access service of $21.95, bringing it in line with that of industry leader America Online Inc. (NYSE:AOL - news) AT&T WorldNet Service, the country's second largest Internet service provider (ISP), will charge $21.95 a month for all-you-can-surf service, $2 higher than its previous top-tier plan, which was not for unlimited service. AOL, the largest ISP, announced a similar price increase in February. In March, WorldNet eliminated its $19.99 flat-fee unlimited Internet use plan and begin charging customers a fee for use after 150 hours per month, in a move to combat high usage levels by a small percentage of its customers. AT&T WorldNet also expanded the features it offers under its new unlimited plan, which it says targets heavy users and families with multiple Web surfers. New features include multiple e-mail addresses on a single account and a total of 30 megabytes of space for personal web pages. WorldNet continues to offer lower-tiered options, including 10 online hours for $9.95, and the $14.95 promotional pricing plan which includes 150 hours of Internet access. Additionally, WorldNet has added an instant messaging feature, which lets members trade voice and text messages with anyone on the Internet regardless of their online service provider. AT&T WorldNet said it has about 1.3 million members. More Quotes and News: America Online Inc (NYSE:AOL - news) AT&T Corp (NYSE:T - news) Related News Categories: US Market News
