As many of you should know, I'm like one of three losers on the planet Earth that is still forced with dial-up.
Even third-world peoples in Africa have DSL.
So, finally tired of the lack of better service here, I have decided to contact AT&T, both asking when a more mainstream service would be available and requesting for one if there are no plans for it to be available.
Personally, I think they will shit on it and laugh, but let's place bets to see how things go.

Well, judging solely on how much shit they've put me through (landing me with a 2000 dollar debt) I'm inclined to say they're gonna shit on it and laugh.

100 Quatloops on AT&T not even considering your complaint.

So I was talking to Kija last night and he said he had Wireless internet, and I never really looked at Wireless availability in my area, so I decided to see if there was anything I could get.
Cyberonic let me fill out a form giving my address, phone number, and e-mail address, and it returned this message:
Their offered services *overall* are:
Now, I'm figuring that the 'offered services' in my area would only be 28.8k, 33.6k, 56k, and v92, which are all dial-up. However, there is a slim chance that Wireless or ADSL can be brought out to my house.
Place your bets, GO!

Fifty cents says you'll have Dedicated Fractional T3 withing a week. Wireless internet is available where I live. 1.5 meg down, 512k up. Totally fucking awesome, I like shit my pants when I heard it was available. Then I shit my pants when I was told it would cost $89 a month, and looked further into it and it would cost $300+ to install. So unless I take like donations from people monthly, dial-up it is and always.
