AT&T Cutting 12,000 Jobs → AT&T is losing customers to wireless and also to Comcast

I kept my landline for several years because it was my only route to the internet, even as much as I hated using dialup. But once Comcast brought broadband and digital voice service out here to the backwoods, AT&T became a service we no longer needed. If AT&T had made DSL available, I would have used it, but they said they would probably never have enough subscribers to justify it out here.

Buh-bye AT&T!
