AT&T @Home customers - what AS are you moving into?
by dani-post＠roisman.com 03 Dec '01

03 Dec '01

For those of you who have had your connection switch from AT&T @Home to AT&T Broadband, would you mind providing a sample prefix (or at least destination AS) that you're now in? @home (AS6172) played a significant traffic role on my network, and I want to make sure I'm prepared for any potential shift as customers are moved off that backbone. Thanks, - Dani

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.

There is also an important reason to be connected at several exchange points: reliability. If you just have one transit provider, you're more vulnerable than with one transit provider plus a variety of peerings, which will still carry at least part of the traffic if the main provider fails.

Re: @Home: The chicken is run over

I can confirm Sean's report from the user's side... An aquaintence who used Excite@Home as one of their home connections in the San Francisco Bay Area with AT&T cable service reports they just got an automated call from AT&T which stated that it's down, it's because they're switching over to AT&T service on his connection, they expect it to be down for a day or two, and he'll recieve credits on his billing for the outage time (2 days for every day out). Apparently no word on DNS, Email addresses, etc. I guess the @Home creditors did in fact succeed in bargaining the shot-off big toe down to an amputated leg. -george william herbert gherbert(a)retro.com

@Home: The chicken is run over
by Sean Donelan 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

The danger with playing chicken is sometimes both sides crash. The official corporate spokesperson was slow in getting her information. During the morning, @Home's spokesperson blamed the problems on breakdowns at regional cable companies, and that @Home had done nothing to interrupt service. Later @Home confirmed Excite@Home had terminated service to AT&T. @Home's spokesperson said negotiations are continuing with all cable companies, other than AT&T. Customers of Cox, Comcast, etc have reported problems with DHCP and DNS services.

Are any other vendors producing a product similar to Nomadix's Universal Subscriber Gateway platform? This is a provisioning tool for broadband to mulit-tenant dwellings. Just wondering if there are others out there worth looking at. Thanks, BM
