No this is not only happening to your friends in California. I am in Colorado and a very disgruntled user of AT&T. I have had AT&T broadband for almost 2 years now and this is the worst thing to have gone through. The switch over after the bankruptcy of @home caused me to be down for over a week. Trying to call in for assistance and information, even after I was supposed to be back up was futile. I would wait as long as 4 hours only to be hung up on or disconnected after finally getting a person that might be able to answer my questions and actually help me. Now I have service, if that is what you can call it. I have less than half the speed I had previously. I still can't get help on the phone and I lost my static IP. My concern, other than the speed, which I understand will never be restored in an attempt to evenly distribute load and requests, is the coming of the new comcast. Will we be down again? Will we ever have full service again? For that matter, what about the pricing? It is going up and the services are becoming less. They are looking less and less attractive, but with no where else to go for service what can a person do?
Yes and it looks like this one just went down by itself. The pilot dumped the fuel just moments before the crash.
I don't think we should count the 4 that were crashes due to terrorism as part of the 7. That leaves 3 and in a year that is almost over, although lives were lost, is not really that bad.
This has however, been a trying and very unusual year.
Yes, and I could not get out of there fast enough. I have worked for several big IT/communication firms and they are the top of the list for the worse. No free anything. You will be expected to work your 50 hours and be happy that you have a job. I did not see too many happy people there, career...what is that. They are a casual company for dress, but they are serious about squeezing you for everything you are worth.
The only one worse would be Level 3 Communications
Tread lightly and look at all of your options before you go into this. Have your eyes wide open.
You must be naive. Why would you think that the government, or more specifically all government, would pass a security test.
Someone like the CIA or FBI, I might find a little hard to believe. However, I worked for the government for a few years and they are seriously laxed in security. Especially net security. They think they are safe behind their little firewalls, but they are penetrable.
