Americans can have long memories when burned hard. Even if AT&T is switching over as we speak, and service comes on in a few hours, that still is no excuse for the lack of communication and the lack of even an attempt. They specifically stated locations where we would be updated and to check on during any potential "crisis". To my knowledge these sites have never worked, and this cutoff has been going on for many hours. That is pathetic and unacceptable, worse than than never saying anything. Even their at&t main webpage and broadband webpages have no info.

Like I said, Americans can be incredible about holding grudges over the smallest of things. There are people still today who refuse to buy Exxon oil, and look at the reaction to Jane Fonda. And it only makes it worse that Gay T & T was not only one of the first corporations to cower to and appease the the homosexual and minority extortionists, they have also been one of the most outspoken and proactive corporate supporters. If memory serves correct, wasn't AT&T also involved in a potential hitech venture with the Clinton administration back in '93, a project they tried to keep secret that would have severely invaded Americans' privacy? I'm sure some of you could fill in the details, my memory is sketchy on all the facts. But point being, irregardless of when my service is switched over, AT&T has lost any chance of me as a future customer. Once my contract runs out and alternatives are available, see ya later and don't bother calling. I've got a long memory.

OK, a little background on why the opus and how I got pinched harder. Dialup is not an option at the moment. As a student, to save money I went with only a cell phone, no landline. Living near an area code change in Dallas-Ft. Worth, the extra costs for extended area calling made a cell equivalent to a landline. But here is where lack of redundancy bites me. Hey, its simply the results of choices I made, and the risks I took, and I still have internet access through school, so all is not lost. But again, the way AT&T has handled it(no information when it counted), their precipitation of this crisis(70% voting control of @home, @home was cash-flow positive, yet AT&T in effect pushed them into bankruptcy to try and get a steal of a deal), and their leftist political activism has finally gone too far for me to do business with them in good conscious. Burn in hell, rat bass terds, I've got a long memory.

and look at the reaction to Jane Fonda.

That was NO SMALL THING! JF was, and is a TRAITOR!

You sound like a disgruntled former AT&T employee.

AT&T gave me a call while I was out. My son took the call. Plus the cable modem is flashing like it's being reprogramed.

AT&T is apparently trying to fix the situation. I'll give them time to do that.

When they were the only phone company it was the 8th Wonder of the World. Then the Kennedy's and socialists got involved and broke it up. From that point on my phone service went downhill.
