I’ve mentioned before the issues I was having with my cable internet service. Well, now that I’m no longer an unemployed guy with too much free time, and I’m now officially a telecommuter (there are surprising similarities, except now I’m paid, so that’s nice), my internet connection is very important. And my Time Warner connection started dropping, routinely, in the morning, and coming back sometime around 7:00 or 8:00 in the evening. Customer service was no help, and the technician they were supposed to send never showed, never called, and no one followed up on the open service call. Wonderful.

Fortunately, AT&T has just rolled fiber to my neighborhood node, and as a telecommuter, that qualifies me for the U-Verse Small Business package. It’s the only way to get their highly acclaimed U-Verse internet without bundling it with their sub-standard TV service. Its $10 more, but it includes Wi-Fi access at AT&T hotspots, which are quite numerous. So, I’m pleased to say that the last mile of intertubes to my residence now comes through AT&T, and I couldn’t be happier.
