[ale] atnex outage

Sure, AT&T offers it to you for ~$39/month if you sign a 12 month
contract, but after those 12 months it goes up to $110/month. At least
AtNex is upfront about the price. And they don't raise the price on
you later. I have been paying the same price for my residential 3Mb/s
service for at least 5 years. Who knows what AT&T would randomly
decide to charge.
