Re: Users say no to AT&T

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."
Couldn't help but laugh at this. Bottom line they can't stop a NAT setup. However, I remember an article put in some time back where the cable companies are working on some sort of NAT variant that would allow them to see how many computers are being hooked and bill accordingly. That is their true goal.

Re: Users say no to AT&T

I show that quote and had to laugh also because I thought that it was pure BS.
22 Million households at $9.90 a month comes out to $217,800,000 extra gross income per month. Not bad for what is essentially a con job.

Problem is that there are some people who will fall for this though.
