I have ATT DSL, it has issues at various times. My modem/router tells
me that the DNS servers do not respond, my internet connection is
up/down and intermittent, or not at all. This usually lasts for a
coupla days or more. Whenever I call they tell me I need a new modem
because they have no service issues. I ask Debashish what that means,
that their DNS servers are not responding, and he tells me my modem is
not "locking on" but then after a while it is back to OK for some
weeks. I searched the DNS server address, and I get a bunch of hits
about complaints about the same thing, ATT servers not serving
properly. Sometimes after I call I see service crews out on the road
doing things, once after a lot of rain they were out pumping the
underground lines from various manholes in the median of the road.
Idiots. But of course I get no rebates or whatever for their poor
service. When it actually works it is pretty fast. The remote office
is about 1000ft away, so it's not a distance issue.

Nope, if you have a cell phone with good coverage, you have an alternative.
I don't have reliable coverage at the house. AT&T offers DSL in some parts of
the county but not in my neighborhood. I really have no viable alternative
(meaning affordable + usable) to Comcast. I don't consider satellite or dial-up to
be usable, nor affordable in the case of the former.
