AT&T is making a push through our neighborhood to lit up that fiber that SBC ran through years ago. (and tore up my junipers, dangit)<BR>
<BR>
So, for $10/mo more than 6mbit DSL they are offering 16mbit Uverse via FTTN. (Fiber to the Driveway and copper to the house.) And free installation.<BR>
<BR>
There were some horror stories posted months ago, which seemed to focus on not doing the math regarding bandwidth, eg 2 HDTV's worth of data will eat the connection. Not so clear that just a plain internet connection would be ok or like a root canal but without anesthesia.<BR>
<BR>
So, has anyone gone through it and survived recently? <BR>
<BR>
And, I'm getting the impression that AT&T in general does some port blocking which would affect someone running postfix/sendmail for their mail. Are there other blocked ports? <BR>
