Amen to that!
I was a customer of AT&T when they were a cable company (which they do their best to distance themselves from now) and they provided the @Home service. @Home went bust, leaving us without service for a couple of weeks, so we switched to DSL.
Then we moved to an area with a different phone provider, and tried "the new AT&T" formerly SBC. They botched the installation, and after selling me a $11/month service billed me $25 per month including "fees". After months of complaining about this I talked them out of a single penny for phone service, leaving just the DSL charges on the bill. They then offered to credit the entire bill which they did to the wrong account - somehow we had 2 accounts active, no idea how we got the other one. So they sent us a check for $148 which we cashed, while still demanding payment for the $148 debt. A year later they have not been paid.
Needless to say when I was looking for a new cellphone company I did not even half consider "the new AT&T". It's the same old behemoth. It's time David shot down Goliath. Who's got the slingshot?
