At&T U-Verse Internet 12mbps $25 per mo YMMV

I had the 3mbps dsl from at&t and paying $15 a month promotional rate for 1 yr.
My 1 yr period just expired and I called.

I didn't even mention cancellation when the rep offered me 12mpbs u-verse for $25 a month with free self-install + Free after rebate wireless router and modem. The rebate is a $100 visa gift card.

I had called 1-800-288-2020.

12mbps u-verse - $25 a month
modem + wireless router - Free after $100 visa gift card
Self install kit - free, shipped via UPS
1 year contract (can be canceled within first 30 days)

NOTE: Others have mentioned that you'll get this price only if you have another AT&T service - e.g. land line, tv or cell phone. For everyone else, the cost will be $35 a month for 1 year.

I believe you also need to commit to 1 year of service? I don't suppose you can cancel your other AT&T service during this period?

@OP, You say you didn't even mention cancellation when rep offered you 12mbps, I am curious why had you called ATT in the first place? to cancel or something else? Also which section in ATT are those reps available, that way I will try to choose same section when I call ATT.

I'm in s cal also just got this deal, try calling again.

you forgot to mention ATT has usage limit at 250GB/month. OP u just got ripped.

New customer. Just got this and got the activation fee waived

My 3.0 Mbps $14.95/mo ATT naked DSL for 12 months is ending. The current online teaser for Uverse is 6.0 Mbps $24.95/mo for 12 months, plus $100 for hardware (gateway with wireless router), $150 for installation (required in my neighborhood for some reason). I called Uverse sales, was offered 12.0 Mbps $29.95 for 12 months, FREE hardware AND install - NO REBATE! After the honeymoon, price goes up $18.05 per month, other deals should be out by then.

-I've called and got offered Uverse 12Mb down 6Mb up (?) for $25 a month for existing customer. I told them that I will think about it.
-I made 2nd call, same thing. But when I told them I want to switch my home phone to Uverse, they offered me $50 a month for both, plus free professional installation, equipment, activation. Later, they added a $100 VISA GC. The only downside is "due date" (for a guy) is more than 2 weeks away.
-I'm in Michigan.

I called to order but want to charge me 150 install fee....

I don't think this is a YMMV, I was at at&t store to ask about my iPhone activation and ended up asking about internet service. They showed me the actual printout for different tiers (3mbps/6/12/18...Mbps). Basically if you're a current att customer (landline/wireless/uverse TV) and do not currently have att for internet, you can get the 12Mbps for $24.95/mo, 1 yr contract, free modem after rebate and no activation fee (current att customer for other product line). U'll get uverse internet if it's available in your address OR same speed thru their DSL. And yes, you can cancel service within 30 days if ure not satisfied.

You will get a bundled discount of $5 if you are an existing AT&T customer. You mentioned about iPhone so you are likely their wireless customer. AFAIK, traditional landline phone does not qualifies for the bundled discount.

For some reasons, if I order online (add DSL to landline phone), the highest speed they offered is 3Mbps (with an uplink of 512kbps). There is a wireless gateway free after rebate but the model is never mentioned. Making me suspect that it is not really U-Verse internet.

I'm in Evanston IL. I just called in and took the offer of $24.95 for 12Mbps.

Modem free after rebate.

$35 activation fee (couldn't waive it)

One year commit ($150 ETF)

Only have dry loop DSL as my only AT&T service.

I got them to give me the 18mbps service for $34.95 a month for 12 months with NO CONTRACT. Can cancel anytime. Got free installation from them (No self installation) and the box for free. Furthermore, I got TWO (yes 2) $100 Gift Cards as well...

deleted... Double post...

The reason I asked is because I've had U-verse for almost two years and the 'modem + wireless router' is one giant U-verse proprietary box that I neither paid for in the beginning, or paid monthly for. I've always just assumed that I will return this to AT&T if I stopped being a U-verse subscriber, as this would be of no use to anyone not using a U-verse service.

It's a Cisco Wireless E1000 router + Motorola 2210-02-01att modem + DSL filters + telephone and ethernet cable

Then you are getting the IP-DSLAM instead of U-Verse VSDL. Check if your upload speed is over 768kbps. Traditional U-Verse should have 1+Mbps upload.

Thank you for that link. I am not aware that U-verse is offering what is basically two completely different technologies!

I know AT&T like to play bait & switch. That's why I suggest everyone who signed up via phone to call and verify. When I sign up over the phone, there is no paper trail. It is your word against theirs. When you noticed something wrong, it will likely past the 30 days window.

rizorith said:   does this work if you have AT&T uverse already? I have the uverse internet service already (nothing else) and my "promotional" price is 44.95.

Doesn't seem like it. I'm also already with U-verse 12 Mb, paying $45 for it, and when I called in they just told me that I'm 'already on a promotional rate'.

Checked this deal and it does work.

Details bellow:

I had a 6Mbs DSL service for $25/mo and phone line with ATT for $40/mo.

Called the number in first post and got 12Mbs U-verse Inet for $25 and full phone service for $35. Total $59.95/mo +tax

1 year contract. Can cancel within first 30 days with no charges.

Free equipment, choose a self install kit.

Only charge will be $36 activation fee, but will get a $100 gift card in the mail.

So double my speed and pay a few bucks less per month.

I cancelled my ATT service 3 weeks ago, tried to bargain for a the same price after 1yr, but no go, so i cancel service. I won't able to subscribe for at least one month, so i am using dslextreme as my isp with ATT line to get internet now. For the people try to cancel cable then get dsl, dsl is lot slower than cable, at least in my TW area, also consider when u want to switch back to TW, they may request $175 installation fee. I don't surprise if they charge, because they charge me $45 to downgrade the TV from 1 level higher than basic to basic without box.
