AT&T has been fired!

[NormanM]

Just to announce: I have fired AT&T ('at&t Yahoo! HSI'), and replaced them
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.
