Maybe those companies would too if they were in debt and were upgrading neigborhoods all over the country. And ATTBI raised the prices by $6 after @home folded
Keep in mind that when they bought TCI, they bought it high, and having no idea how to run a cable company, were unable to perform these upgrades in a profitable manner. I think ATTBI will be under much better management by Comcast, because cable is still their primary business.

Ya I remember when they started upgrading my area shortly after they took over for TCI in June of 2000, that was when the economy started to really slide and AT&T got deep into their financial trouble. They ended up not finishing the upgrades in my area until two years later this last June. |

Wow... I have a bad feeling that if AT&T continues to go into the shitter (as they are because of their sales losses in residential long distance), they will end up taking the broadband division with them. It definitely better to let ATTBI go now instead of letting it sink with the rest of the ship.
