Miracle of miracles, AT&T; @Home finally has decided that they can give me cable modem service. After my DSL no-go and literally years of phoning the @Home folks every month, I can barely believe that I may be able to actually get a high bandwidth connection. But I know better than to rejoice until I have the actual hookup working, so I won’t go bouncing gleefully around the place just yet (plus, the cat looks at me funny when I do that). My first setback has already occured: I called to sign up (operators are standing by, 24 hours a day) and the nice man couldn’t get something overriden about a prior hookup in a different unit of my complex. So I have to call back in the morning (apparently the people with override privileges get to work in the daytime). If I didn’t have to type, I’d be crossing my fingers.
