SBCGlobal (AT&T Yahoo!) Reviews

After years of holding out, I've finally convinced my Aunts and Uncles to upgrade their PC's and abandon dial-up service for something faster.  The best deal in their neighborhood was SBCGlobal, $25 versus $45 for Comcast.  Since day one (two years ago) it's been slow, and it's only gotten slower with time.  I've had their lines tested, and everything is clear.  I recently called SBCGlobal to complain and was given an old-fashioned explanation about "too many cars on the information superhighway" and how "too many people in our neighborhood are on the node."  It's so bad that I have watched...

For years I plugged along with dial-up, simply because I thought DSL would be too expensive. (DUH!) OK...I kicked myself in the butt.  I will NEVER go back to dial-up.  I'll do without the Internet before I go back to dial-up.

What I really like, as of about a year or so ago, AT&T Yahoo dropped their old anti-virus program from Computer Associates, and went with Norton. (Symantec) This is a MUCH BETTER program!  And it's FREE!  

AT&T Yahoo also has a good to excellent "Help" section.  I'd rather use Outlook Express for Email and it shows you how to set it up correctly.  There are many...

Keep in mind that i was a SBC Global customer for over 6 years. We had a phoneline and DSL. The internet service was decent for what were paying for it. But a few weeks ago we decided to try and save money getting rid of our phone line. Basically it would cut our bill in half. In my first conversation with the SBC rep, i was told it would be "no problem" I was told, "Your phone and internet will be shut off on Monday the 4th (of May) Your DSL may be out all day but will up the following day at the latest." She was right about one thing. Both services were disconnected on Monday. But the DSL NEVER...

I have nothing good to say about AT&T. When it was SBC, it was great but when AT&T took over it went down hill fast. AT&T was charging me for services that I did not have. I called them and was told it would be taken care of. The next month, the charges would still be on my bill. I made more calls and even wrote the Corp. Office many times. This went on for a year unresolved. I finely turned them in to the BBB. The Corp. Office of AT&T lied to the BBB about several things. AT&T did credit my bill for charging me for services that I did not have. I thought the problem was solved. NOPE, the very...

. . . Reliable DSL 24/7 ... plug-it-in, forget about it.  On a very limited personal income, my non-mobile telephone is discounted and bundled with AT&T DSL for c.$40/mo.  It serves at present a 5-yr.-old Mac mini G4 running OS X 10.4.11.  

. . . If I save up for an iPhone, I might keep it locked in with AT&T.  Apple selected a quality company in America, although AT&T limits certain iPhone abilities at present, and Apple may negotiate allowing other providers in 2010.  New video capacity will be valuable for emergencies and amateur news-reporting.  Seems other devices are imitation-Apple,...

I have MS, I work from home and on thursday july 9th I called my ISP AT&T for help with an email account in outlook, the tech wanted to connect to my computer remotely but could not, so he had me turn my firewall off, still he could not connect so he told me to turn my virus protection off, I did, and it took about 2 hours of him emailing back and forth to get it straight, when I hung up I turned my firewall back on, but could not turn my virus software back on, I rebooted my computer and SystemSecurity2009 was on my computer, it took over my desktop, and redirects my browser while intermittently...
