This is just a shot in the dark but have you tried going here?
My brother had the hardest time getting AT&T to provision a new
modem since the old one he was using didn't work with the upgrade during
the transition. It wasn't until I stumbled through dslreports.com
forum that I found out that I had to go through http://sas.rX.attbi.com where X =
1 through 6 and it stood for different regions to provision it. They
sent down a technician and he was no help and after countless calls to
AT&T and their online chat, I finally figured out the problem for
him. The change took effect immediately not like the 2-4hrs, then
2-3 days they claimed originally. They really got their heads up
their asses there as they have very few people that know what they're
doing.
