will milk the copper lines for another 50 years. Which is a good thing. I'm all for paying collective bargaining wages. But Att had the worst wireless service I ever had the mispleasure of using. I wonder how much of this will be attributed to the I-phone.

I am about to purchase an Iphone, and therefor forced to switch to AT&T in order to utilize the Iphone's 3G capabilities. Sprint has been reliable and clean. Am I going to be disappointed with AT&T?

I had AT&T wireless and was happy with it. Great coverage in the Dayton, Ohio area. I only left them because after my contract they wouldn't give me a free Blackberry Curve like T-Mobile did.
As far as landline goes, I have a landline and DSL through them. I've been much happier with them than I was with Road Runner through Time Warner. I kicked Time Warner out of the house, went to Dish and AT&T and have never looked back. |

I cancelled my AT&T POTS because they couldn't keep the lines working. I had to call every few weeks when the dial tone stopped again.
Since then they've kept sending me ads for their DSL and wireless. Why would I commit to a long contract with a company that can't or won't even maintain its own infrastructure?
A well-run organization without a duoplolist's arrogance would notice my long series of repair requests and at least promise to address those kinds of problems, if they wanted me back. They might even realize this is one reason people are leaving, and maybe even do something about it. |

I live in Dallas, TX and AT&T is by far the best wireless provider i have ever had. I had sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile and AT&T is the best one out there. |

First thing, Realize there is some new trending little hate at&t thing going around so you will hear alot of people say it sucks. They never will understand that when they are hiding under the bed in the cabin underneath a verizon tower, of course they will think at&t sucks. But there feeble little brain can't understand how the situation might be different 5 miles away under a at&t tower. And don't dare speak badly about verizon service because some dude had a great experience with it and the old rule of "must be the same every single spot on the planet" still applies.
Thing is, every service sucks somewhere and every service works flawlessy somewhere else. Disregard the childish bandwagon sheep who preach the line and just get a iPhone and you will be happy. |

Way too many sheep following the trendy anti-at&t wagon lately. |

Sadly at$t has been having some surprising problems again, they had cleaned up their service for awhile but now with no competition they seem to becoming lazy again. |
