I kind of liked Bellsouth. They were not always the best service but would try somewhat to keep you as a customer. Then ATT took over, and a slow change took place. Service is not as reliable, internet speeds vary greatly, and it seems that there is no improvement in their wired infrastructure as new customers are added, as service is continuing to degrade. Now they've decided to "force" the change to Yahoo for web related services. Yahoo web page is too large and too slow to load on anything but multi-processor machines, and even that doesn't help due to the lousy ATT service. Online support is a mish-mash of Bellsouth-ATT-Yahoo tutorials which only remotely help solve the most basic of issues. Obviously poorly planned. Once the customers agrees to try the new Yahoo site, they are barred from returning to the ATT site as their login is no longer valid. I did not like the old Yahoo site and preferred the ATT site previously. Why do they think I would prefer being forced to have a Yahoo home page now? I hate to say it, but I'm considering cable. I'm tired of fighting my internet service.
Update: It's now a month and a half later and my download speeds are usually the same or less than my upload speeds. Absolutely pitiful service. I would have changed already if things weren't so crazy at work currently. Plan on changing to cable when things settle down. I've already wasted way too much time "nursing" my ATT service!!

| Re: ya know Bellsouth cared about all their customers. AT&T bought out Bellsouth because they wanted Cingular and the employee pension fund. They now have Cingular and are about to have access and plunder the pension fund. They don't care about the wire end of the business. They will probably run the wire end of the company in the ground and then sell it or spin it off so that it cant survive. U-verse is the holy grail for AT&T. If you are not a U-verse customer in the future, your problems will be on the lowest list of their priorities. I've seen the future and it doesn't work!!!! | |
