Someone posted a note on list (yesterday?) that AT&T has been cutoff by @Home, but they're the only ones so far. Yeah, David Aikema posted this link: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011201/wr/tech_exciteathome_dc.html I couldn't care less what happens to @Home proper, as long as my service stays up. If Comcast comes to me tomorrow and offers me another broadband provider, I'll be more than happy to jump. I just don't want to get cut off...
