A Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Your AT&T High-Speed Internet Service
AT&T's High-Speed Internet Service offers DSL Internet access to anyone within the reach of its central offices. Although professional installation is available, most customers can set up DSL using the self-installation kit provided by AT&T. Once connected, the DSL modem connects to the Internet and allows access to speeds much faster than dial-up.
