Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now

(AT&T broadband customers, though, will be moving to another service -- AT&T dropped out of the negotiations to keep @Home for their customers, and say that switching current customers to a new network will take about 2 weeks.)

    As a AT&T @Home subscriber, I thought it was pretty funny last night when they showed a commercial for AT&T broadband bashing DSL for having no guarantees of connectivity. Ha! I hope that'll show up on adcritic.com soon, I wanna send that to my friends.

    Thank goodness for Work T-1 :)

    Get Excited@home with the drama of if you'll actually get the service you paid for or not. My local Circuit City is still trying to sell people @home...
