AT&T has been fired!
NormanM
with Sonic.net, LLC. I have their "Fusion" product, with ADSL2+ out of their
own DSLAM in the AT&T CO in Cupertino, California. Includes long distance
calls, local calls, and Internet. The Internet service is DHCP, so does not
require PPPoE. I am testing ~5 mb/s down throughput, instead of the 2.5 mb/s
I was getting with the old PPPoE ADSL service. Best yet:
No caps (AT&T imposed a 150 GB per month cap on my old service)
Newsgroups (Sonic.net, LLC is a California corporation with no presence in
the State of New York; hence, immune to Andrew Cuomo's political
pontifications!)

Hi, Norman - Let us know if you continue to be pleased with Sonic!
I probably shouldn't say anything, but outside of having to threaten the
ATT Retention Dept. with Cox Cable once a year to get a discounted rate,
I've had no problems in a long, long time.

Sonic.net sounds like a much better deal.
I fired AT&T cell phone service I never wanted to begin with, but
had ended up with when AT&T bought Cingular who I really started with
and liked just fine. It wasn't long after AT&T took over prices began to
creep up, support creep down, dropped/non-completed calls went up, and
the data network slowed soon after the IPhone came out.

It is.

Irony! Cingular was AT&T Wireless when it was started. It became a joint
venture between SBC and Bellsouth after the 1984 breakup of Ma Bell. And was
reformed after SBC bought AT&T, re-branded as AT&T, then bought Bellsouth.

The irony is AT&T is back and acting like Ma Bell again.
Another breakup is needed!

But it isn't AT&T. It's SBC, masquerading as AT&T by calling itself at&t.
It's the cannibal offspring, having eaten its mother (and siblings), now pretending to *be* that mother.
