| this is strike 2, yes? So first the 3G wireless network gets hammered about capacity
Now, the residential customer network is getting it?
When are Americans going to be swinging at strike 3 from at&t??
master yoda says, "developing pattern I see. mmhmm"
I had U-Verse when it launched, over the fiber to the premise, when I lived in Richardson, TX. I was an at&t employee at the time, so it wasn't something I had to pay for 
I resigned and told at&t to eat my shorts. Not one iota of regret either. They're going downhill, faster than an Olympic bobsled team.
With all these capacity issues, I can't help but wonder, what in the world are they spending any money on? Executive retreats? Lobbyists???
Instead, maybe try doing some regular upgrades on equipment & services, to keep pace with demand?
I'd like to say I'd be shocked, but I know it won't be the case. I can see the writing on the wall already ... ten years later, good ol' at&t will still be using the services & equipment I put in place, prior to resignation.
I see things I worked on in 2001, that are still in use ... and I'd be willing to bet the pattern stays consistent.
And I thought it was sad/pathetic when I found the Usenet systems I built hadn't been so much as maintained by anyone in over a decade. Then they were shutdown. At least I know servers I built stayed online without so much as a hiccup for 5000 days.
