I see many of the good old posters here. Can anyone recommend other newsgroups
to subscribe to that may be good replacements for the sbcglobal newsgroups that
I used to follow? Thanks.

Hi, Bernie - I'll answer both your posts here.
As you've seen, a number of the old sbcglobal regulars watch and reply
here. Some have suggested alt.att as well, but my personal opinion is
that it has "no redeeming social value" <vbg>!
Also, check out http://www.dslreports.com/forum/ilec,snet as you live in
CT. It doesn't get a lot of activity, but there are some especially
knowledgeable folk there (including NormanM, even though he lives on the
west coast).

I have this group subscribed, but I don't usually see much activity here.

Well, Bernie, there's alt.online-service.att-worldnet, for one, a couple of
at&t-related alt.cellular groups (a.c.cingular, a.c.attws), and I feel I should
also put in a compensatory good word for alt.att -- noise:signal ratio is higher
than you might like, but signal is never overlooked or not responded to: lots of
useful at&t "migration"-woes comments, remarks, and advice threads.
Cheers, -- tlvp

BTW, has anyone got AT&T U-Verse? I have their "triple-play" (they don't call
it that): phone, DSL, and TV since mid-January. I think I like it, esp. the DVR.

No U-Verse here: just local loop copper, as originally laid by SNET, and
basic DSL, as originally provisioned by SBC/Yahoo! DSL (now AT&T/Yahoo! HSI).
TV is courtesy of the cable company.
There is some activity in the 'alt.online-service.att.worldnet' group,
though probably not from old school SNET users. One of Prodigy's sisters was
Pacific Bell; but I don't see a lot going on in the
'alt.online-service.pacbell' group.
