AT&T Dumps VOIP Customers

Proudrooster writes "In the past two weeks AT&T has sent out disconnect letters to VOIP customers in big rude red letters, stating that VOIP service will be suspended in 30 days and permanently disconnected in 60 days. They cited E911 service as the reason. (It is peculiar that AT&T is unable overcome an E911 technical hurdle, since SBC/AT&T is also the local landline company in many areas where VOIP cancellation notices are being received.) Many AT&T VOIP customers have found that they are unable to transfer their phone numbers to a new provider. Further, AT&T is unwilling to set up a forwarding message directing callers to a new phone number for those who are unable to transfer their old numbers. In effect, AT&T has told many long-term VOIP subscribers: 'We are turning off your phone in 30 days, goodbye.'"

    Shut Up Already! You Fucking Loser!

    You're a loser now, you'll be a loser in court, and when it's all over you'll discover that your girlfriend (or is it boyfriend, you fuckin' fag) has been fucking the telephone lineman that lives in the house down the street and 'round the corner.... AND THAT"S WHY YOU HAVE NO ANSWERING SERVICE!

    My suggestion is to kill yourself now. That way at least she's (he's) sorta obligated to attend the funeral. That's all you have left. Grab the bull and ride it!
