SBC Lowers Cost of Yahoo! DSL Express Service

SBC Communications Inc. is offering residential subscribers new to its SBC Yahoo! DSL Express service a special deal on high-speed Internet access.

For the next 31 days, new residential subscribers ordering online through sbc.com or sbc.yahoo.com will receive 12 months of service for $19.95 per month. The price requires a one-year term commitment and SBC local phone service.

Customers who do not order over the Web can receive SBC Yahoo! DSL Express — with speeds up to 1.5mbps — for $19.95 per month when they commit to a one-year term, and subscribe to SBCs unlimited local and long-distance calling plan for $48.95 per month.

SBC says the move is part of its initiative to gain greater market share.
