up to 10x faster than dial-up

Вот это меня очень умиляет
А как, интересно, по сравнению с 1913 годом?

# AT&T local service required.

Вот в этом еще одна добавочка к обещанному сервису.
И вообще, KEEP AWAY from AT&T
Customer support ужасный. Они как правило ищут причину, по которой они не могут сделать, а не способ, как сделать.
Пока был Ameritech, потом SBC&Ameritech, потом SBC&Yahoo - все было более или менее нормально. Как только стало AT&T/Yahoo, а потом просто AT&T, пошло буквально по нашему, по советски - ...вас много, а я одна...

Теперь понятно. И на фиг оно? GPRS хватит для кафе.

У меня несколько другое мнение об АТТ. У меня уже 5 лет ДСЛ 3Мбит от АТТ.
По сравнению с Комкастом у моих знакомых, проблем у АТТ в несколько раз меньше.
Average speed: dn - 2.8M(max 3M), upload - 340K(max 384K).
Проблемы бывают, но не чаще пары раз в год.
Саппорт вполне вменяемый, дозвониться относительно легко.
