Note:
When posting your request for support, please try to provide the following, or as much as possible.
The more detail the shorter the delay in resolving problems/concerns on your issue. It is encouraged
that you post in the public thread first. Reason being is some issues the public forums can easily

• Note: reason why we have you start a thread out there is because there are techs, consultants,
and just general dsl users that help each other in those forums. In some cases posting info that might
help everyone (and lighten our load) see what the solution was. THis helps you, us, other people and
even neighbors. It's these forums above that are the shining star, and it's greatest asset when we are
working on the harder issues, or fixing larger problems, and keep people from waiting. We can't be
everywhere, and at all hours, but the public forums can, and typically deliver! Please utilize them
it's what makes what we do and offer even better!

FINAL NOTES!:
•When you post a thread in direct please edit the thread before replying to it or starting a new
one. Replying to your own thread causes it to fall off the unreplied list and makes the direct techs
think:
"Oh someone is assisting already, I will just move to the next one!"
Thus, passing you up where they think it has been replied to, even though you have not been responded
to/request addressed. You can edit your post for up to 48 hours after you post it. Please keep a link
and edit your original post. Duplicates can be merged with the original topic at moderator discretion.
•If you post and then realize that you forgot to add something after your post is in the forum,
please either edit the original post to add content or wait to post the additional info until a tech
replies. Most new topics get a 3 day edit window before we reply, please use that opportunity!
Please do not reply to your thread; doing so will result in a longer response time, or the techs
missing your thread completely. This is due to the fact the techs will think someone has or started to
assist you already!
• By posting in the direct forum you adhere and accept that this is
not a 24x7x365 service.
The services of the members of this forum are
voluntary and can be terminated by the party volunteering, AT&T or dslreports.com at any time, and for any reason. Issues in the direct thread are first come-first served basis. Typically we emphasize on trouble reports first before pre-qualification requests and such. We try to work everything as quickly as possible however do keep in mind delays can happen. Aging posts that are officially closed may be deleted from our databases. If you desire to keep a record of a CLOSED thread. Please take a moment to make a screen shot or a copy paste into a private document for your records. Thank you.
