RW> You can get around the disconnect fee by discontinuing to pay the bill.
 
And ruin my credit rating?
 
RW> I've had this on-going battle with AT&T over their requirement that in
RW> order for a customer to have their DSL, you also have to have a landline.
 
I haven't heard that one yet, but it doesn't mean I won't.
 
RW> The other part of my dispute with them was the fact that you have to pay
RW> the phone bill and the 'Uverse' DSL service by sending seperate checks to
RW> seperate PO boxes in the same city at the same ZIP. I combined payment
RW> into one check and sent it to one PO box. That upset their applecart,
RW> since the phone section doesn't communicate with the DSL section and vice
RW> versa.
 
That's a different setup than I have.
 
RW> Long story short, they turned off my landline on Sept 1. They claim that
RW> I hadn't paid the bill, which I had and have proof that I did, just not
RW> to their PO box. They wouldn't accept the proof and kept adding on more
RW> charges, once for disconnecting the phone in July and then a reconnection
RW> fee.
 
I wouldn't pay it.
 
RW> I'm waiting for them to threaten collection and then I'll file a claim of
RW> damages in small claims court. Time to have some fun in the court system
RW> again. Oh, and if they shut of the DSL, that'll make my fun even better.
RW> :o)
 
Good luck with that.
