It is hard to say what they are doing. I have noticed that for business use at
a core location dsl/cable connections do not provide the bandwidth consistancy
desired. They work great for remote/small offices and home users. Put in an
internet t-1 at your core and you should see marked improvement in the
connections.
Here, for redundancy we have multiple t-1's in the core, and for remote users
they can connect on either dialup or vpn from home if their office is down.
Sounds like ATT is feeding a line. The broadcasts are likely eating their
bandwidth.

I saw something similar, I think AT&T is giving me a line to me which does not
make me feel good about my future business with them.

I am curious about something. I think AT&T is feeding me a line of BS and want
to see how everyone else is doing.
Our AT&T DSL service has been crap for over a week now. we pay for a 768/768
connection and I am getting less than 128k out of it. They telling me they are
having trouble and have been having trouble since the 12th. They are not sure
when they will have it fixed. They said it is a backbone problem and that lots
of ISPs and lots of areas are affected and not just me.
What sucks is that starting last week, I convinced my bosses here to do a test
with VPN to connect our remote locations instead of the expensive frame relay.
It worked great last week. This week it runs like crap because our internet
connection is so poor. My ping averages were in the 90ms range last week and
now they are in the 200ms area and half of them time out.
IS anyone else having internet problems like this with AT&T or anyone else?
For those of you on VPN, what do you do to work around things like this when
they arise?
