You've been given a reprieve. Fo outside and dance to the clouds in excitement. I don't know how long this will last though. :(

[rocknindy]

9:47 am ET my connection is still up......for now

[FerrariF50]

I heard you can't send email to a @home address...don't know if it's true..

[*JEREMY*]

yep its true,All @home is down as far as I know,I go thru at&t @home and a machine actually called me this morning saying that the internet would be down for at least a week and that I would get 2 days credit for every day without service.I signed up with the trial offer for msn dialup,hopefully my cable is back soon so I can cancel this,man I havent used a 56k in 2 years,it takes some getting used too,lol

[FerrariF50]

I don't pay for my service...it's free

[*JEREMY*]

Im downloading the free juno deal now to use until my @home service is back up.Not sure how many hours you get because it doesnt say on their site.

[flounder43]

I have ATT@home and am not affected.

They did send me an email sayng that their home page would be moving, but my service is cool.

[RangerJoe]

my dad has cox@home in tulsa, ok and his is still working

[*JEREMY*]

I just read that it was like 800,000 people on the AT&T side that have to be transferred off excite's network to theirs.I have know about the whole thing since it was announced but I never seen them mention that the AT&T would be affected,When I woke up and seen that my service was down I just knew what it was.Its funny because an hour later the phone rang and it was an unknown call on the caller id so I figured it was a telemarketer and I was ready to go off but it was an automated message letting me know what was happening which I would have never figured they would do.Thats alot of freaking phone calls to make.

Anyone here about excite@home in Indiana? I live in kokomo and so far they haven'nt said anything about cable going our switching over to AT&T.
