Re: AT&T Problems yesterday (and continuing today...)

Ditto.

 We lost 100% of our remotes at around the same time.  As
of 6:00am this morning 0% despite ATT's claim that 70%
was up.  As of 11:30 central we are batting about 50%
(.500 for you purists).

Our dial backup was switched line's.  The most we can
support centrally is 3....it worked just not enough coverage.
The other down-side to our backup is the speed is slower.

This is one way to ruin a day and highlight the disaster
plan.
