Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the unless-you're-with-at&t dept.

Mansing writes: "There may be hope after all, according to this update from the Washington Post" In short, a reprieve for many @Home customers, with negotiations ongoing between @Home and the major cable companies with which its service is offered -- watch for updates here. (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.)

    I was down for a whole day (Saturday) in Des Moines, Iowa, but the real problem is that the mail servers are still screwy. I was even told that my mail account was DISABLED!

    Yeah, and I have been paying more for service lately to have less service? Once I get my Linux gateway up and running, I'll be off to DSL.

    This has really locked it in.

    Morons, utter morons.

    "...will be moving to another service -- AT7T dropped out of the negotiations..." I believe it says something that I read this and immediatly tried to descipher what "AT7T" was in normal speak. I guess I'm not very 3133+.
