| AT&T's network sucks AT&T had a network when there were no networks. AT&T had ISDN before there was broadband. I've had AT&T DSL since it was released. 1.5M down, 384K up. Same speed many years. Over time my network needs increased, my demands increased, AT&T is unable to provide a faster link. Reluctantly I've been forced by the failure of AT&T to upgrade their DSL network to move to Comcast HSI. Comcast with the worst customer service in the business, is more appealing than AT&T.
There is no excuse for Comcast to be able to easily provide me 4x faster broadband than AT&T, but they do.
As for the AT&T land line phone network, every time I open a bill there is a chance to discover a new or increased fee. The bill only goes in one direction. Land line extra fees and taxes make it non-competitive with VOIP or wireless.
Some say AT&T will go another 50 years on their wired network, and they may. However the AT&T land line business will be 3 guys and a truck in 20 years servicing their last 200 customers.
I do not understand why Verizon is so darned competitive, or why Comcast is so good, and why AT&T is so pathetic. It should be the opposite, AT&T was out first, had the wires run, should have been able to build out quickly. One day the history of AT&T's demise will be written, and it will be a painful read.
