AT&T is already out of the business. They sold the business to Comcast. To make matters worst, all ATTBI.com emails will eventually change to COMCAST with no guarantee that you can keep your current usernames. I'll be looking into DSL next week.

>Last night I received four e-mail notifications from my ISP, AT&T Wideband, mailed within a span of 13 minutes. They all said the same thing. We have two AT&T accounts one for the Internet and another for Cable TV, and the two accounts are in names of different family members. Remember it was about 7 PM January 16th.

>I was told that I had to consolidate my two accounts into one account for billing purposes and had to have each person whose name was on the respective bills give his/her authority to do so. Detailed instructions were given with the “proper forms”. After several paragraphs of all this nonsense it stated clearly that I had to accomplish all this by January 14th, 2003.

>I sent the same reply to each of the e-mails expressing what a wonderful and professional job they had accomplished. I also suggested that they sent four back-to-back notices due to the lateness of the notification. That should have sped things up and made up for being late.
>
>Somehow I get the feeling AT&T will not be a Wideband provider for long – at least not at my house.

>P.S. I am considering smoke signals in place of the Internet, but am concerned that the EPA will not like it.
