I'm Trying To Get To The AT&T Website To Buy DSL

The AT&T website is down.  I can't get to the site to buy DSL service.  It reminds me of the time that A&W was out of rootbeer.   We're moving to a new office in Ladue, and we need us some internet.

Anyone else nervous about my ability to get online?  Charter might be an option, but they don't know if they have service in Ladue.  No one has called me back. Originally, I talked to a Charter Rep in another state, but they said they couldn't help me, and someone local would call me back in 24-48 hours.  We're going on 96. hours.

We have Vonage, which we've been happy about, but too many people are complaining about VOIP (rumor has it that Charter slows down the Vonage packets) fading in and out when we're online.   So we were going to switch, but no one wants our business.

And so our internet access and phone bill is about to go up $30, without free long distance.  Do you know what really stinks?  With Vonage, I don't get phone calls from telemarketers.  No one has the number except my credit card companies (who call to offer stuff, but rarely).  The second I get a business line, salesmen are going to start calling thinking I need to buy a postage meter, or legal, or any of a dozen other things that a business our size simply can't use.  And we don't quality for the Do Not Call list.

A pox on all their houses.  And on Congress, for being such spineless twits to the telecom lobbyists.  You guys do know that we just stopped paying the Spanish American War tax on phone service, right?
