I read this article this morning. This is unbelievable. I can almost feel that there is less oxygen this month due to the downed trees for this.

You would think that something like this might have come to AT&T's concern the moment the first one of these phone bills printed out.

The reason I hate AT&T is I have 3 lines at the office and 1 to the home office. 2 high speed DSL lines also. Little to none Long Distance calling... and my monthly cost is nearly 687.00 per month.. AT&T BLOWS...

The iphone recently brought down Duke's network.

Wetz, you are crazy if you are paying that much for 4 phone lines and 2 DSL lines. Something is wrong somewhere as I wouldn't expect it to be over $250.

PM me your phone number and maybe we can look into your account and figure out why its so expensive. If you have 2 accounts, both main lines.

We have one of the family plans with Cingular (which is AT&T now) and so mobile-to-mobile is free. My wife's brother has downs syndrome, but still functions pretty well at 34 years old. Anyway, he has one of the phones since it is only $10 a month more. If you know anything about people with downs, they do the same thing each day. Well, he is constantly calling people on his speed dial list (he can't remember #s). When we get the bill each month, it comes in this half inch thick 8.5x11 envelope. He places 600-700 calls each month! The charge is always $0.0, but man the paper waste.

LOL, We have 2 AT&T broadband engineers inthis group and Wetzny is still getting raped. Mike and Robby, you might want to help a brotha out. Or at least have your company send the man a tube of KY with each bill. It cuts down on the friction. LMFAO!

Dude's Thanks for the back-up!!

Diesel why use my funds for vacation? AT&T needs the money to buy more chainsaw's!! THERE'S STILL FORREST'S TO BE CUT!!! "WE NEED MORE PAPER!!" (MF'ers!!)

As far as the cost's of my plan here's the break down:

First of all these are BUSINESS LINES so the A$$ pounding is REEL' GOOD!

DSL HSI PRO (office) and HSI ELITE (home) 39.99 x 2 = 80.00

Custom Biz Saver 44.19

Custom Biz Saver Addl line 32.49

Home Office Lines Personal Choice Plus 35.00

Additional Line 24.00

Total to AT&T 215.86 (Before all the BS fee's, access charges, pay for poor people to have 911 access crap, and Uncle Sam)

I WAS WAY OFF IN MY Guess-Ta-Mite of AT&T expense's, the total of 650.00 I arrived at included my cell, my wifes (she's on the board of Spartan so... err I pay for hers) So my apologies for not knowing my own companies EXACT landline expense's!!

Now back to regularly scheduled programing!!

If I remember correctly, I get an email each month telling me that my bill is now available for viewing online, but I still get a paper bill in the mail. Go figure.
