AT&T also offers elective arrangements for this service at 18.74 or 40.08 Kbps.

AT&T now offers several IP-based replacing services that supply greater transmission speeds over fiber and its copper -based infrastructure.

Among the other options customers have in these marketplaces are AT&T Switched Ethernet 2.0 Mbps (ASE 2.0) service and AT&T Company DSL Internet service (IPDSL) services.

ASE 2.0 Mbps service is an Ethernet transportation service that offers a variety of shapes to satisfy customers’ needs. In places where AT&T hasn’t constructed out fiber, the IPDSL service, which is a high speed internet service for small to medium companies, enables customers to send and receive information over existing telephone lines.

This is only one of several requests AT&T has made to discontinue services, an on-going tendency big ILECs are going upon more of their customers migrate away TDM to IP-based services like VoIP and Ethernet.

In March, AT&T asked the FCC for permission discontinue six operator services: collect calling, person to person calling, charged to busy line interrupt, busy line verification, third party and international directory assistance. Previously, the service provider sought permission to shut down its BellSouth analog video service in Kings Point and Carbon Hill.
