Re: Porting Question

I know how ASI works. I new what they did. But when ATT took over they changed the name to ATT something. That was on their site a long time ago.

You don't have to give me a lesson and treat me like i'm 15years old and don't know anything. I have dealt with ASI directly on several issues. and they are just like the rest of the company in most regards (except for the techs on here) they don't know a damn thing what goes on. but ASI does not mail the self install kit. The LEC does. Otherwise it would say ASI as the sender and not AT&T or at one time SBC. I have had DSL several times with SBC and everytime i had it it did not once say ASI just SBC Internet Services.

but like i said ASI is basically the ISP and ATT is the hardwire/last mile provider of the services.

Apparently you don't know how it works. I'm telling you from the inside that you're wrong.

The ISP is the ISP. The LEC is the LEC. ASI is in between the two.

ASI is alive and well (internally they're now AT&T Advanced Solutions, Inc. according to the corp intranet). Don't you think ASI can put the sending address of the ISP on the CSI package they mail you? I know ASI sends the CPE because they also do it for some of their wholesale (other ISP) subscribers as well.

None of this changes the fact that if the OP ports their number out to wireless, that ATT the LEC will receive line loss, send that to ASI who sends a disconnect to the ISP.

Ummmmmm, I am going to have to side with Corona See Profile on this one. I am an ASI tech and yep, that's exactly how it happens. Lock stock and barrel.

The ASI techs here (on site typically) are me, Darren See Profile, wolfdragon01 See Profile, Matthew See Profile for starters.

I am sure if you ask any or all 3 of them they will pretty much tell you the same thing "Uhh yea, he's right!"
