AT&T ,att.com/ bundling ripoffs: internet service does not change speeds; you pay more sales lie, Internet

After canceling the upgrade that showed no increase in speed of internet service, they had the nerve to tack on a $5 networking charge to my restored regular internet service bill. I did not notice this and paid it two months. I do not network through them or use their networking equipment, and I did not authorize or inform them I was networking. When I phoned to inquire about the new $5 charge, they said it was part of the bundled 6.0 speed upgrade I had removed reverting to my previous internet service. Why the heck did they keep that network charge? The cust. rep. quickly agreed to refund. My guess is that they hope customers don't read their bills or subscribe to non-paper option to make reading bills less accessible. I recommend you don't switch to paperless billing with companies like AT&T who are crafty about bundling, pushing bundling as economical while charging even more, trying to confuse customers so they can tack on charges, and out-and-out lie to customers who phone sales and customer service. I reported these experiences earlier and wanted to add that final fraud of $5 network charge. Remember that if you don't use AT&T routers or other networking hardware, they can't charge you for networking. When I told cust. rep. about the charge and asked what it was for, she said something vague about using various hardware: computers, printers, etc. I asked for clarification about how having a printer attached to my single computer using their dsl service constituted networking, which really means using several computers on the same dsl together. She withdrew the initial info of counting a printer as networking. I think they train the reps to be vague and misinform non-tech oriented customers to tack on charges. Watch your AT&T bills and don't agree to the never-ending bundling pitches because they are a ripoff.
