AT&T SCREWS ITS CUSTOMERS!

W

Whistleblower

Flightless Bird
As they screw over their ISP customers, you can be sure sooner or later
they'll screw their cellphone customers too!

BEWARE OF and AVOID doing business with AT&T!

AT&T exemplifies screw-the-consumer corporate arrogance at its worst.
DO NOT PATRONIZE AT&T or YOU'LL REGRET IT!

I had an ISP service package with AT&T Worldnet that included email, DSL, a
personal website on their server, and Usenet access. Suddenly they dropped
the Usenet service, with no compensation to customers that were forced to
find another source. Another example of their screw-the-customer attitude is
the fact that reaching a tech support person by phone typically requires at
least a 20 minute wait on hold. AT&T once had a good tech support service on
Usenet, but dropped that too and became very hard to reach. I should have
seen the writing on the wall and dropped AT&T back then!

This March 2nd I get an email that AT&T Worldnet service, DSL service, and
website hosting will no longer be available effective March 31st - A KNIFE
IN THE BACK to all their small business and individual customers!

They arranged a deal with Covad to take over the DSL service, and a new
email/web service that allows you to keep your existing email address and
ID. You could elect to use AT&T for dialup only, or go to another ISP
entirely. In effect, if you wanted to keep your present email address, IDs,
settings, and DSL, you are FORCED to accept Covad and still be tied to AT&T
as your ISP. Before, if your DSL service went down you had free dialup
backup, but no longer. Dialup now costs extra. And since converting to Covad
DSL about a week ago, I have already had a service failure!

For a business, the website customer-screwing by AT&T is the worst of all. I
had my site for years and it had a high ranking with the search engines -
top10. Now I have been FORCED to move it to another host with a new URL
unknown to the search engines. My initial outlay for 3 years of webhosting
and a domain was over $150. Fortunately I was able to upload my site to the
new host without the typical professional fee of $250 to do so, but it took
alot of my time. In addition, I'll have to toss and replace about $50 worth
of business cards with my old URL web address on them, replace other printed
materials with the old URL, change many documents, and inform many contacts.
I will inevitably lose business because the old URL, now in many website
links and hard-copy publications, has become useless.

The forced "migration" process from AT&T was complex and time-consuming, not
helped by the unavailability for several days of the means to do so at their
website where AT&T stated it would be. Instructions were vague and
non-specific, and good luck reaching them by phone! As the service cutoff
date approached, nothing could be done due to this and to AT&Ts
inaccessibility. Then, one day after completing part of the migration
process, CUTOFF! I had NO SERVICE - no web, no email, no DSL, no dialup,
nothing! Finally after hours of effort,I was able to establish my DSL
service. My Outlook Express was unable to download email until I corrected
that too - with no help from these corporate cretins that couldn't care
less!

Now, for the same monthly price as before (under a 1 year contract with a
BIG termination fee if you want out), I have DSL, web, and email. But no
dialup backup, Usenet, or website as before. The website costs extra now.
And will AT&T tech support improve? I wouldn't hold my breath!

The substantial expenses and inconveniences inflicted by this AT&T
customer-screwing is something for which a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT would be
appropriate, but no doubt the agreement you are forced into when buying
their service protects them from responsibility. Clearly AT&T, with typical
mega-corpseration greed and arrogance, cares little for their home and small
business customers. This sort of thing will continue as long as they can
perpetrate such actions without being held accountable, and consumers and
businesses will remain at their mercy.

When you vote, keep in mind it is the Republican-Conservatives that protect
these mega-corpserate bullies and allow them to run amok, unregulated, and
perpetrate such consumer-screwing actions as this.

BOYCOTT AT&T!

I sympathize with such bad news, and I deal with AT&T only for a
cellphone service that they bought from Cingular, and AT&T so far is
appearing to me to largely continue Cingular's practices in a way that
I am finding at least mostly reasonable.

It strongly appears to me that those with businesses whose business
models depend on a domain or e-mail address advertized so much as even
in business cards, need to have domain names that they paid for good
enough for e-mail addresses @own-domain. (Even though it appears to
me that one rents rather than owns a domain, but usually with easy terms
of rental renewal.)

(At this point, I think enough said, in part from following material
that I snipped out including stuff on DSL service, which appears to me
to be a mere full step above "dialup", as in appearing to me to be
usually cheaper/lesser service than even mere 5-6 mbit/sec cable-modem
service or the like.)

Thats' not entirely true

From what I have read, both the the SATA controller and the drivers must support it.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/206783-32-sata-swap

In case one or both don't a utility call HOTSWAP is mentioned. I use DEVCON myself.

I have a ESATA drive that does not hot swap on my pc's with ASUS MB's using XP or WIN7, but does on other PC's. That seems
to support the info found at the above link.

YOU may not care, intolerant jerk, but I don't give a damn. I have a right
to speak my mind on a public forum, and that's exactly what I'll do.
No one forces you to read what I say - so DON'T.

Of course they are being reasonable - for now. AT&T is heavily advertising
their profitable cellphone service, and doesn't want to alienate people -
yet. But if they will screw their ISP customers, as they have, in time they
will do the same to cellphone customers when it serves their greedy purposes
to do so.

Good point - one that I am taking and now acting on.

And I have a right to call you a fuckwad in a public forum, and that's
exactly what I'll do.

And I'll also ask when you stopped beating your wife.

No one forces you to read it--so DON'T.

So I really have to ask. What the fuck is the point of posting this here?
Does anyone here really care about some isp problems that YOU may be having
when others are clearly not! This is after all a windows newsgroup not a
AT&T or a ISP newsgroup is it not? I personally have had AT&T for my home
phone ,DSL and cell service for over 10 years even though it used to be SBC
(home) SBC Global for DSL and Cingular for cell. Still I have never
experienced the slightest problem with any of them and if I do I make a
phone call to them and it is taken care of with either a price reduction a
increase in service or a benefit of some kind to me. no complaints at all.

And if they do, people will just move to another provider and takwe
their phone numbers with them. Something similar to what you could have
done had you not been dependent on their ISP address, which others have
already told you was a bad idea.

DSL is old technology anyway. You should move to fiber or cable.

BTW, did their terms and conditions say that they had to continue
offering the service? Did they do anything in violation of it? If not,
what is your complaint?

Terms and conditions?
LMAO.
You are assuming that people read that.
Marketing a product depends on that not happening.

I myself like AT&T ... they perform the services I require within the
skills possessed by humans.

The services provided by monkies would be slightly worse.

Nice plan if you can get it. I'm lucky I can get the slowest grade of DSL,
and it is *slow*.
