| I Remember The Last Fiasco Ma Bell has issued bloated malware for nearly 10 years. I one time I loaded it on a test box to see what would happen. The mess it caused convinced me to run from this company. The Bell CD installed Bell engineered Yahoo that inserted itself into four browsers, upgraded free software to paid pro versions, added icons on my desktop and controlled EVERYTHING. The :remove software: function was broken and Yahoo tried to call home every few minutes even though this machine was never on line. It took three days and countless hours to edit the registry line by line, reformat the drive and do a couple of other things before I could restore my desktop to pre-Ma Bell condition.
Don't do it. You don't need anything but a modem and router to connect to the web through AT&T as long as you have a BB connection.
The ATT software before this last time was even worse. The software would not install and the "help" desk couldn't figure their way out of a paper bag. It was worse than horrible. I returned the junk, walked across the street and walked out with a cable modem. That was before Cox knew anything about viruses or neighborhoods. It sucked as bad or worse than Bell does. I wouldn't recommend either service if you have a choice..
