Re:I'm back online (Score 1)

Got up this morning, noticed the modem lights were blinking again and the firewall was going nuts. Went to check the web, and I was back in business. Total outage time was about 24 hours (which, BTW, makes this only the fourth longest outage I've had since getting the cable modem -- @Home had me down for more that two days twice.

The automated message was "three days" for N. Seattle, so I'm impressed with AT&T's ability to get the network back. I'm definitely not happy with the 1.5Mb ceiling -- on a Sunday morning I should be absolutely flying, but right now it's eeking along However, I am willing to delay judgement on them -- at least until the Olympics (and the far superior Canadian coverage on CBC) is over.

If I dump AT&T, I'm dumping everything AT&T -- cable and cable modem. They'll be off the list for wireless, LD, weed 'n' feed, whatever. They are warned.
