Does anyone else have AT&T wireless for their home?

i have no phone and no internet since yesterday morning. i've spent the better part of two hours on the phone holding for tech support only to be told that there's a huge outage but can find nothing about it in the news.

i guess i just wonder if my misery has any company. i'm in Raleigh.

googled and it is in the news

i am lost without my internet. i can live without the phone.

and I have found their tech support to be "interesting" from time to time.

Best of luck! Do tell them you want a credit on your bill for the time of the outage.

i already asked tech support about it. she didn't know. i won't pursue it though if it requires another hour plus on hold.

trust me they already know you are out of service. Get transferred to billing and insist that you get a billing credit. There is absolutely no reason to pay for something which you do not receive.
