Simply put - NO! They might as well be like Furbys - adorable, fluffy, and white, but ever so annoying.
Edit: Furbies or Furbys? |

ATT is still offering their Residential telephone services. They called me yesturday to sign up. Which they said before they were pulling out of 7 states roughly 2 months ago and still havent done it.
Don't believe anything with ATT until it happens. And for VoIP they better start expanding their network faster because they are already behind and drop their prices unless they're gonna keep bundling it with Insight Cable in Ohio. |

WHAT A MISTAKE. People are sick and tired of the same old telco that is why Vonage Packet 8 etc are eating the Telco lunch. If you selling the same service as Vonage you better beat them on price or your out of the game. |

As long as "T" can keep raping the Aussies for bandwidth there will be AT&T.
Ask any Australian. They pay for their bandwidth usage. |

Re: No...
Furbies is the correct way, but the company that made them insists it's Furbys, i think...
But you are right, and i like how ZDNet put it. Thats the last time you'll hear me say something nice about zdnet.. |

I'm confused...... How do your comments reflect the topic of this thread which is AT&T offering VOIP and betting the future of the Company on it as a profitable source of income for years to come?
Please clarify what Australia & "T" have to do with this. |

they are not eating up the telcos, hell i dont even know 1 person with voip, and when people do start going to voip it will probably be from a telco name they know and trust. voip is still too new for most people to consider switching and some people will not want to switch at all.

| Will AT&T Survive?
I would not recommend AT&T dialup or broadband internet access to anyone because they force users to use outdated networks which are prone to latency, high packet loss and complete loss of internet conductivity for no reason. AT&T Tier two department are very aware of the problems but won't do anything regarding the issues that plague their networks.

They of course will not survive. As of now they aren't even the cheapest VoIP provider, and price matters. Since they are sliding downhill, most likely its not within their power to lower prices to match smaller companies without firing most of their work force. Plan and simple if ATT wants to survive they need to become small operation, but that of course officially means they are over as a big player in anything, and probably will never return again since their name is synonymous with bad service and support. |

AT&T spun AT&T Wireless off as a seperate company in July 2001. AT&T has not run the ATTWS since then.

Re: No...
AT&T is doomed unless the can do one of the following.
Raise the dead
Offer service commiserate with price, or price commiserate with service.
Run a fiber optic pipe into my home.
Since all 3 have an equal chance of never happening..
AT&T is the last of the lumbering American corporations of the 20th century. All others have either evolved or perished. The only think that keeps AT&T hanging on is the fact that it takes longer for a larger body to grow cold. |

It was one of their biggest cash cows, and I'll tell ya...I was much happier under ATTBi than I am with Comcrap.
Unless the point is the sale of ATTBi was the misstep.

Right on. I will never use an AT&T service after they provided crappy, expensive basic cable to me for over a decade. I finally got Directv a few years back and have never been happier. |

I don't think they know what they want to do, but their CallVantage service is rock solid. $27 a month average for the first year so its not the cheapest but its also not the most expensive. |
