Re: DNS Servers for Insight?
said by drgnwiz8:
on the phone side of the business yes but i would not say as much for the Internet side, cause InsightBB pretty much has the say so over most fasets of the business in that respect... thats what I was tring to say.....
Phone side of things? No they ( AT&T ) own a good amount of Insight stock. So that means they have some power of over what gets done what way. Insight didn't just choose AT&T for it's bandwidth provider out of the blue. The 2 companies have a relationship. Has nothing to do with phone service. It has everything to with the cable service. Again as I stated above!! Midsize cable markets ( such as my area )that were previously run by AT&T cable. Were all transfered to Insight cable. This was publicized when it occurred.

| What i was saying is that they have the most control over the Digital Phone Service.... the Insightbb is regulated by InsightBB, trust me I know more on this subject than you do for various reasons.... They may hold stock in Insight, but they do not control as much as you say they do... out of you league IGGY... so lets not debate this any longer... ok |

AT&T is sub devided into 3 seperate corp like what they are doing to Microsoft. The Division of AT&T that owns Insigth stock is an entirely diff corp then the one providing Insightbb's backbone. Everyone seems to be going with this backbone come lately I am even hearing that charter is dropping UUNET for AT&T's pipe. No Insight doesn't has the cash to build its own backbone. HSA 3/4 owned by Paul Allen(Co founder of Microsoft and I believe majortiy stockholder in Charter Cable) tried to implement there own backbone and scrapped the project b/c it was costing them far too much money. |

Yes we are aware of your employer!! And honestly I debate this. The evidence is there. That supports the fact that Insight is in fact influenced by AT&T. The sale of AT&T midsize cable markets to Insight is in fact evidence of just this. As for AT&T becoming 3 parts. Isn't this in fact still in the works? Or did the split finally become final? And I was under the impression it was AT&T phone that owned the stock. And also provided the backbone. That fact I could in fact have mixed up. Either way can we drop the attitude a notch? Thank You. Oh by the way. Funny how Insight finally listened to the users of this forum ( at least in my area )!! They are finally offering great install offers!! Now some of my friends & girlfriends family might just upgraded there internet service!! So a big thank you for finally getting a clue!!
