Atlanta, GA | Good technical support? quote:
AT&T Broadband's product director Scott Russell argues that consumers need good technical support and removing NAT is the only way to remote troubleshoot individual PCs on the LAN. "We don't support NAT boxes," Russell says. "Sometimes, we ask customers to disable the NAT box. If they do, we often find the problem, and find that problem is the NAT box."
When was the last time any one had good technical support from an AT&T tech? |

| Comcast is attempting the same thing.
this was posted in Slashdot a few days ago - »slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/0···e=thread
quote:
"A co-worker of mine resigned today. His new job at Comcast: Hunting down 'abusers' of the service. More specifically, anyone using NAT to connect more than one computer to their cable modem to get Internet access- whether or not you're running servers or violating any other Acceptable Use Policies. Comcast has an entire department dedicated to eradicating NAT users from their network. We knew this was coming since this Slashdot article from two months ago, but did anyone think they'd already be harassing people that are using nothing more than the bandwidth for which they are paying? It makes me very happy that my DSL kit arrived yesterday, and I'll be cancelling my Comcast cable modem early next week."

From looking at the ATTBI forum, I'll venture a guess:
"Very rarely, if at all."

Only, COMCAST doesn't HAVE the 'no multiple computers' clause in their published AUP. AFAIK, that /duh posting was a troll. |
