Our 2 home telephone lines were out of service for 4 days last week. AT&T explained that there was a service outage in our area and explained that this was due to "lines being cut, maybe from an accident". The odd part was on neigbor called by cell phone a few days later to say that their home phone service went out two days later, and was out through the weekend.
Several neighbors had noticed the AT&T repairman, elbow-deep in wires at the AT&T switchbox on Valparaiso, near University Drive. To top things off, we received a postcard in today's mail, announcing AT&T's new "U-verse service", a service that offers digital high-speed Internet, digital TV, and digital Home Phone lines.
Is this just coincidence, or did AT&T remove home service (without advanced notice) while they provisioned our neighborhood for the new digital services?
