According to AT&T (after calling and waiting for 30 minutes), the service my friend was originally on went bankrupt (@home maybe?) so they were transferred to an alternate network. AT&T claims they will be getting this back up to speed soon. What I would like to know is if this is a nation wide problem, or if this is just in California where he lives?" More generally, I wonder what type of experiences -- good or bad -- the people who've just gone through a forcible @home weaning are experiencing.

The national carrier for ADSL and CABLE [bigfund.com] caps every user at 512down/128up and if you would like to pay they can generously provide more bandwidth at approx 10c$US/meg, with a small fee of 250$US/month connection.

Isnt it great to live in the worlds biggest island [and natural monopoly]
