Re: AT&T's ISP & COnnection issues



Thanks & you're right JD as it may be time; in fact, I have started
searching & am going to contact DirecTv as I use their satellite signal for
TV - it may be too much for my fixed income budget, but will check.

Time to try a new ISP? Is there a cable tv company in your area that
offers an internet connection via a cable modem? I struggled with AT&T
using dial-up for years and my lack of connectivity was never their fault,
it was always my fault. I switched to a local cable company and have very
few problems connecting using a cable modem. Sorry I can't be more help
but sometimes you got to change the way you do things.
