Communications giant
AT&T has struck another blow against cable providers by announcing a new DSL
offer that's rated for a maximum speed of 10Mbps. The new service will
launch under the AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Max moniker next month, and
AT&T will offer it to subscribers of its U-Verse TV-over-IP service for $55 a
month. AT&T says it will give subscribers of its DSL services free access to its
Wi-Fi network, which counts 10,000 hot spots across the United States. Free,
unlimited access will be available to anyone with an AT&T broadband service from
the 1.5Mbps plan to the upcoming 10Mbps one.
