We will theoretically be "switched over to AT&T broadband service by Monday". Translation from CorporateSpeak "In about 3 weeks you might be able to expect to have a connection, and we will bill you double for it".

I'm glad you didn't fall for Mon Tues routine! The worst part is many businesses will suffer. How can Cox be up and running?

AT&T said that when and if there were serious problems with @home, they were going to switch over to their own network whereever they owned the cables. From the looks of this thread, that's exactly what's happening. But Comcast, Cox and -- in my case -- Insight are staying online.

Don't panic people... These services are a mondo cash cow for the cable companies -- they aren't going to leave their customers high and dry and lose them to DSL or satellite. If there is an alternative in place now, they'll switch but otherwise, it's in everyone's interests to keep things running.
