AT&T finally sent an outside lineman on the 5th trouble call on the 4th week that looked at the inside and outside wiring and simply said "This is all messed up. He installed another new line to the house, ran a new line inside the house, and fixed the mess at the CO and came back to make sure everything was working.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20414041 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 23:24:22 EDT Re: ATT will cripple dslextreme into submission and bankruptcy http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20319371 DSLX_Zak : sandy1950,

Here is what I was able to find. Do to the loss of dial-tone on the line we had to place a disconnect/reconnect on the DSL line. This is a common procedure for customers that loose dial-tone and takes roughly one and a half weeks to fix in most situations.

Your Disconnect order was place on 3/19 and was due 3/24 but it is still pending in the ordering system. Because of how the system works we cant re-order the DSL on that line till the order clears.

Our Ordering department has been fallowing up on it regularly and more than one ticket has been opened with AT&t to get the ticket cleared but as of today it is still in a pending status.

Given the length of downtime I can understand your frustration but we are unfortunately entirely at AT&T's mercy on this one. I will keep you updated on the situation as I get more info.

If AT&T doesn't have dialtone, get them over to fix the line.

What caused the phone line to go down? If it was a problem on their end we can work to get the reconnect order expedited. Can you please provide me with your account info? You will need to register for an account on this site in order to send me a PM with that info.

Thanks

AT&T idiot technicians caused me to lose dial tone, and therefore DSL. DSLX customer support is lame at best and toothless in getting giant AT&T to comply with reconnect w/o's. I'm w/o DSL for over 3 1/2 weeks now and am powerless as to who to rant and rave to. All concerns have fallen on deaf ears. AT&T is stonewalling my reconnect and it's probably a manouver to steal back DSLX customers who become frustrated. I dunno where else to turn. I'm fed up with both providers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20310499 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:48:14 EDT
