[ale] OT - DSL

[Jeff Hubbs]

Last fall, my DirecTV DSL service disappeared and never returned.  No
amount of calling was sufficient to get any movement on the problem and
I eventually told them to beat it.  Since the problem apparently had to
do with DirecTV and Bellsouth not cooperating, I wasn't ABOUT to give
Bellsouth any of my broadband money, so over to AT&T Broadband I went.
