Hi all,

I just wanted to relate another new user's problems with the service.  Text
of message is below.

Richard, I feel your pain.  I've been on this service for 3+ months now.  As
they add more people the service gets worse.  You might want to check out
yourfreeforum.com/hsd for chronicles of other people's experiences with the
service.  It ain't pretty.  To summarize the problems with the service.

1. Both fax machines and fax modems cannot receive faxes.  I haven't verfied
this, I've only tried to fax out with my fax modem and it works.  But so
many other people complained about this it must be true.

2. The phone circuits are getting overloaded.  So fast busies out, "all
circuits are busy" messages in.

3. Games such as Quake II and Half-life do not work.

4. Pings are much higher for a so-called broadband service.  Lately, the
network is becoming overloaded and you see the terrible ping results that
you show below.

5. DSS and Tivo boxes have trouble dialing out to order movies, download
program lists.  Haven't verified this one either but I do have a DSS.  I'll
probably order a movie in the next couple of weeks to see if it still works.

If you try the ping in the morning, it will be in the 115-130 msec range.
As the day progresses, it gets worse, similar to what you show below.  AT&T
is supposedly working on the problem, but obviously haven't fixed it yet.
