AT&T Service Sucks

I purchased DSL as soon as it became available in my neighborhood. And I loved it. I could watch online TV and work from home.

But now, I can’t watch online TV it buffers every 10 seconds and I also can not work from home (I can’t possibly be efficient with the slower than slow pace of loading everything).
