| Memoriallanes @ameritech.net | ATT gone from here!I have been with ATT first off, dial up and then DSL. The dial up was off line ( due to line problems )almost as much at it was on. Every time they would come out they would say, but sir, its your phone line and we cant touch it, thats ATT's problem. But your ATT, yes but not the phone part. So you get them out and they tell you it is your Modem and they cant work there either. Now that I have had DSL for 15 months, I guess I can say they are worthless. The trouble shooters say its your phone line, and the phone guys say its your DSL. SSDD, The trouble shooters had me disconnect my DSL and the static was still so bad you couldn't make a phone call. When the line guys show up they say, you should get rid of your DSL its causing problems for my phone system. Best part was when I told the guy that it was also ATT, and his follow up was thats why he has cable! |
| ChiTang Premium,MVM join:2002-08-23 Alhambra, CA | AT&T and SBC is the same companyStatic DSL is considered as business plan (at least not residential) and it requires a professional install (no DIY install), hence the truck roll. People need static IP for various reasons and should pay more, but simply because your "OFFICE" is at home does not imply you can have "business service" at the expense of "residential price". My 0.02. -- I used to be indecisive, now I am not sure. |

Only if you need additional wiring (or problems in the wiring) does a truck roll become necessary ! Second, in most areas, you can get DSL for the first time, and not need a truck roll. AT&T (and most competent carriers) can provision the line within days. In the meantime, they send you the modem, and you can do the rest. Again, if you need some wiring done, then a truck roll is needed. Third, I have a static IP at home, so if I have to pay "business rates", then so be it. Of course AT&T tried the "truck roll" with me, and I KNEW it wasn't necessary. They did all of the circuit work in the CO and elsewhere, and I rebooted by modem. Works just fine for me ! Yes, we know AT&T & SBC are the same...PacBell (the old Pacific Telesys) Ameritech (Illinois & Michigan Bell), BellSouth (the old South Central Bell)...They're all one big happy family ! |

| totalradio join:2007-09-15 ·AT&T DSL Service·Suddenlink·Dish Network·magicjack.com·ipowerweb | Re: Yes, AT&T sucksI've had AT&T since 2002 (when it was SBC-Southwest). Had cable before that and it was a real nightmare. Couldn't keep a connection for more than a day and on top of that, they couldn't (or wouldn't) fix my problems, hence I went to SBC. After today, I'm looking at DSL Extreme. They come recommended by some friends of mine in California & Oklahoma. Bottom line (at least down here), the connection is good, just don't call tech support... I'd rather call my ex-wife...less pain. |
