AT&T has announced they will be raising the rates of their DSL service by $5 a month. Customers both new and old that are located in AT&T’s original 13 state area who have either the Basic, Express or Pro service level will see the increase. Any current Elite customer, U-verse customer or those who are located in an older Bell South region will not be affected by the increase.

According to AT&T the increase was needed in order to “better reflect the value of the broadband service and market conditions,“ they further went on to mention that they were “confident that customers will see the value in the service and that we’ll continue to grow our customer base.“ While I am sure the two have nothing in common, it still almost makes me feel like the extra $5 is to pay for the free Wayport Wi-Fi access we were recently given.
