Ok you have got to be kidding. Having worked in the telecommunications industry for the last 10 or 11 years, at&t is one of the worse customer serving companys in the U.S. What they are is ubiquitous & they know it & so does everybody else in our industry.
With my experience with AT&T Broadband was that true customer service was not in the company mindset.
Gotcha, I thught you has the phone service but thought you could not get DSL... I gotcha now.

Anybody ever deal with Sprint, or its Embarq spinoff?
Their customer service is more likely to push you into the path of an oncoming truck than actually help resolve anything. Their CS is the reason I have RoadRunner broadband (Time Warner) and ATT callvantage voip service in my home. Their CS is the reason I dumped our Sprint cellphones after less than a month of service.
If ATT bought Sprint/Nextel and Embarq, the services would most likely iimprove dramatically.

Is it really "done?" Have the final regulatory approvals been issued?
They have been advertising on tv around here (CT) that Cingular will soon be known as at&t.
Not to mention the fact that Malone has a long-standing track record of holding onto what he buys as "long-term" investments - no way he sells D*TV for some time to come.Again I will say search back a few years and see how many times this has been reported in December.
Seems like they keep pulling it out of the woodwork every year just before CES so that they have something to talk about at CES.

You'd think some of these investment "experts" would do some decent homework on "trends and histories" before doing their goofy WAG speculation.
Kinda reminds me of the days 20 years ago when the investment community was preaching " Some day, we'll all be working for Sears".
Also, once Rupert closes the deal, Vur---- will have to come up with some new negative name for D*TV, I suppose, since that one will be obsolete.![]()
...and still there was a buyer...What's even funnier is that he called it that once, and Vu--- has used it a thousand times since. Talk about milking a one-liner.I just think it's funny that Rupert did not call it that until he decided to unload it.![]()

Trust me AT&T and customer service do not belong in the same sentence..They suck!I don't know if it will happen or not, but I would prefer a big company like AT&T that knows how to do customer service than the way it is right now.
That exact thought is under advisement here.If I was in a Bell South service area and this merger got ok'd by the FCC ,I would drop my land line service like a bad habit.
