Excite&#8217;s just the homepage; AT&#038;T provides the actual <em>service<\/em>. So I said thank you, sighed relief, and hung up. And Saturday morning (I think you can see where I&#8217;m going with this), I was suddenly without a cable modem connection. Complete disruption of service. Now AT&#038;T was saying that <em>of course<\/em> there would be some trouble. Hadn&#8217;t we heard? Excite@Home had recently filed for bankruptcy. So it looks like I could be without an internet connection at home until maybe Thursday or later, while AT&#038;T transitions its customers to the new network. I&#8217;m okay with that, and I&#8217;ve been assured that I&#8217;ll be credited two full days for each one that I am without service, but it&#8217;s a little annoying that I was given such patently false information when I first called.
