I've had no problems, apparently some people are on AT&T @Home, while
others are on AT&T Broadband, I am an AT&T Broadband customer, some of
my friends (Atlanta, Seattle) are AT&T @Home customers who no longer
have access, AT&T claims that everyone who lost access lastnight will
be online with AT&T Broadband within ~10 days.
