I am about to purchase Windows 8 Pro Upgrade through Microsoft upgrade advisor program. I know how to do a clean install with that, but my concern is a whole new system.
I will be installing it on my current system, but I will likely be buying a new system soon. Can I use that same product key with this new system? How does one accomplish that?
Anything else I should know?

If I understood you correctly, you can install the key to a new system, once the old system is wiped?
But then you said, the new system needs an OS on it?
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:47
Posted 19 November 2012 - 04:43
you should go and actually read the EULA for the Upgrade version. the System Builder one allows you to transfer machines I'm not sure how it'd work with the upgrade version, since technically once you upgrade the old OS's licence key is replaced by the new one and isn't "valid" anymore..

Product description
The Penn Museum's first archaeological expedition to Iran took place in 1931, when Erich F. Schmidt excavated the Bronze Age site of Tepe Hissar near the town of Damghan and the monumental buildings of the pre-Islamic Sasanian Palace. In this part of his adventurous and courageous life Schmidt, then a young German WWI veteran who had received his Ph.D. degree under Franz Boas at Columbia University, documented the project with nearly 2,600 culturally significant photos-many under far from ideal conditions-of desert and mountain tribes, the sites, government administrators, and a full panoply of the people he encountered from Fara (Iraq), Damghan, Tepe Hissar, Persepolis, including aerial reconnaissance. Gursan-Salzmann has selected 64 memorable and instructive prints from the Museum's archives for the book's interior and has assembled dozens more from the Schmidt Collection, Chicago's Oriental Institute, and from family members for an accompanying CD-ROM. She helps readers interpret the cultural and physical landscapes of the Iran and Iraq of nearly 75 years ago as their ethnographic and historical treasures came to light. Content on the book's CD-ROM may be found online at this location: http://core.tdar.org/project/376583.

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University men's soccer squad will travel to PPL Park in Chester, Pa., on Friday for a 5 p.m., matchup with the Marquette University Golden Eagles in the semifinals of the BIG EAST Tournament. The game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network with Jason Knapp and Shep Messing on the call.
The Hoyas are coming off of a 2-1 victory over the St. John's University Red Storm in the tournament's quarterfinals. Junior forward Steve Neumann (New Hope, Pa./Council Rock North) scored in the 26th minute, but the Red Storm countered with a penalty kick at 47:25. In the 66th minute, freshman forward Brandon Allen (Old Bridge, N.J./St. Joseph's) scored the game winner in a scramble in front of the net to make it 2-1 and send the Hoyas to the semifinals for the first time since 2004.
North Kehoe Field
No. 10/14 Hoyas Take Down No. 4/2 Golden Eagles, 2-1
The No. 10/14 Georgetown University men's soccer team (12-2-1, 3-2-0 BIG EAST) posted a huge victory over the No. 4/2 Marquette University Golden Eagles (12-1-0, 3-1-0 BIG EAST) on Saturday, 2-1, at North Kehoe Field. The win handed the Golden Eagles their first loss of the season after being one of just two teams in the nation to be unbeaten. It also marked the highest ranked victory for the Blue & Gray under Head Coach Brian Wiese. The previous top win was in 2010 against No. 6 Connecticut.
In the net, Gomez has appeared in 13 games with 46 saves and six shutouts to his credit.
Marquette matched a school record by picking up its 16th win of the season Saturday with a 2-1 decision at Louisville in the BIG EAST quarterfinals. The Golden Eagles are led offensively by senior striker Andy Huftalin who has had a breakthrough season with a team-high 24 points, including a team-best 10 goals and four game-winners. Redshirt freshman Axel Sjoberg has scored in each of the last four matches, giving the 6-foot-7 central defender two goals this postseason and eight goals overall. Redshirt sophomore Charlie Lyon has started every match at goalkeeper and is among the conference leaders in GAA (0.71) and shutouts (10).
Georgetown is 7-1-0 all-time against the Golden Eagles. This season, the Hoyas downed MU, 2-1, at home snapping a 12-game win streak for the Golden Eagles. Senior Tommy Muller (Altamonte Springs, Fla./Trinity Prep) scored early and despite tying it in teh first, Neumann managed the unassisted goal to win. Last year, the Hoyas won, 3-2, in Milwaukee as Neumann hit goals in the 80th and 84th minutes to capture the victory.
Georgetown is 9-17-4 all-time in the BIG EAST Tournament and is 3-6 in the semifinals. This will be the first time the Hoyas and Golden Eagles will meet in the postseason. It is also the first trip to the semifinals for Georgetown Head Coach Brian Wiese. The last time Georgetown advanced this far was during the 2004 season.
There is only one team that comes back after reaching the semifinals last year. In 2011, the last four teams standing were Connecticut, Louisville, St. John's and Villanova. The Huskies reached the final, where they fell 1-0 to St. John's. All four of the teams this year are from the Blue Division.
The games were originally scheduled for the New York Red Bull's Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., however, poor weather conditions for the conference to move the event to PPL Park, home of the Philadelphia Union of the MLS.
The Hoyas will play in the first game which will kick off at 5 p.m. ET. Fans can watch live on CBS Sports Network or listen to alum Dan Helfrich at www.GUHoyas.com.
The winner of Friday's game will face the winner of top-seeded Connecticut and third-seeded Notre Dame on Sunday at noon at PPL Park.
For ticket or championship information, fans can visit the BIG EAST's Championship Central.

I'm routinely charged overages with a 150GB cap. No other options for broadband in my area. Overages wouldn't be enforced on this connection if there were competition.
It should not be legal to restrict higher speeds to telephone subscribers only.

New Wave Communi..
We used to have AT&T DSL and it was reliable. We recently switched to Uverse for faster speeds. The service has gone down multiple times, and we've had multiple service calls. They've replaced the AT&T box and wiring on the house, replaced the wiring going into the house, replaced the jack and wiring inside the house, and it still goes down frequently. We've got our fourth service call scheduled for tomorrow. For some reason it seems to go down when it rains.
We live in a technological black hole where only AT&T and New Wave Communications are available. If this service call doesn't fix it, I will be trying New Wave.

I have had Ameritech / SBC DSL since it first became available in Arlington Heights (I think 1998).
I continue to WAIT for U-Verse Cable.... No one from ATT responds to customer requests to finish area upgrade.
New Yahoo Mail and built in Messanger has become the WORST Internet Mail System. Last round of updates has continues timeouts, Options Menu poping up for no reasion, effects all acounts....
As I have said for some years now.... No One Is Listening!!!!

I live in Hamburg Township, and through Directv I was offered a 1 year $29.99 offer and $10.00 a month savings off my Directv bill, nobody else around me had dsl so I thought nah I don't qualify, but why not give it a chance to see what happens. I was promised 3.0 M download speeds, so I placed the order, including having to pay for the modem and install. This is a dryloop install.
Followup from att was good, install went quickly, but I couldn't get the modem to sync. The gentleman who "turned on" the system did leave me a voice mail so I called him back and he swung over and in about 10 minutes I had sync.
30 minutes going through setup pages and installing software, I was up and running. For the next two days was miserable. pings were around 40-50ms, and my top speed on average was 850kbps to 1.5mbps. Nowhere near the advertised speeds. The delays made my viatalk phone unusable and netflix very unresponsive. I tried tech support both saturday and sunday and could not get through. On monday I cancelled and it was pretty pain free. I don't have time to mess around, I need something that works, day one. I guess I got a bit spoiled by Charter and averaging around 24 mbps. Thank god I didn't cancel that account so all I did was plug back in the cable modem and back to happy. Yeah I am paying $52 a month and Charter never negotiates now (don't get me started) but you pay for the quality, and I guess Charter did figure that one out.
The other iritation was that I got the details on my service and it says 6 months, not 1 year.

I've had AT&T DSL through a local ISP for about 10 years in Fishers, IN (borders Indianapolis, IN).
I had the 6Mb/768Kb speed.
My local ISP was GREAT and did EVERYTHING they could to serve me within the confines of AT&T's maintaining their DSL infrastructure.
In that time, I never had reliable speeds due to phone lines that never stayed repaired for more than a few weeks at a time.
When the phone line was repaired, I saw the tech test it to be capable of 8Mb+ speed, and I would get tested speeds of 5.1Mb/510Kb on my computer.
But within a few weeks, the speed would commonly be back down to 1.5-3Mb/400-510Kb.
When I would report the trouble, my local ISP would start a Trouble Ticket with AT&T and the tech would ALWAYS find trouble somewhere in AT&T's infrastructure.
In the last 2-3 years, AT&T began responding to Trouble Tickets my ISP started, and deny their was any trouble with a line that CLEARLY had problems, then bill my ISP approx $120 for "wasting" their time.
This caused my local ISP to be afraid to generate Trouble Tickets with AT&T.
So in that time, my DSL usually ran slow, reconnected often and AT&T repeatedly kept lying about my troubled line.
I finally got fed up and yesterday had Comcast Business Class installed on 12/6/2011, and my web and mail server couldn't be happier.
In conclusion, my local ISP was GREAT, and did the best they could.
But AT&T's apparent policy of letting their DSL service die on the vine was the problem.
I've continued using Comcast Business Class Internet and it was been great!
I couldn't be happier!

Update 27/Feb/2013 - What happened?
About 3 months after I went live on uVerse DSL I was upgraded to 24Mbit down/3Mbit up under a "promotion". I ran speed tests and I was in fact getting that speed. Had intermittent line problems this morning and logged into my modem for the first time in a long time and now Im at 12Mbit down/1Mbit up (even through "Max" is supposed to be 12Mbit down, 1.5Mbit up) and what Im ACTUALLY set for is 11,996Kbps down / 1024Kbps up.Spent an hour on the phone with tier 1 who wants to roll a truck when the problem is obviously either at the VRAD or in the C/O but of course they won't admit it.
I am so sick of telco selling one thing, delivering another and making changes without notifying you. Oh yeah, and they just raised my cost $5.00/mo.
Update 04/Jan/2012 - Welcome back ATT & Dish
Well, Comcast sucks. 54 outages in 32 days. Couldn't take it any more some I am back in ATT hell. At least the uVerse DSL install went smoothly. 3 days from order to install and I have a new wireless DSL router for "coming back to ATT".
Update 16/October/2010 - Hasta La Vista, ATT!
I have been a member of the Midwest forum almost since this site started.
I had to FIGHT and I mean FIGHT to get DSL in my new home. It took getting VP's involved and getting two linemen who were removing loads from my circuit fired to get it.
I have been pushing and prodding for uVerse since I found out it got installed in my CO. I have watched vRad being deployed all around us including runs that had to pass by our sub dmarq and still no uVerse.
About 5 weeks ago I was finally told uVerse was available but when I went to order it, all I could get was uVerse DSL. No TV. Yippe. The exact same DSL speed I already had for $5 less a month.
I just found out Dish (which I got through ATT) dropped Fox Sports Detroit so no more Red Wings games. On 01/Nov we will also lose the local Fox affiliate (which means no American Idol and all the other shows my wife and kids love to watch).
So I called ATT on Friday and I said you have 2 choices. Give me uVerse TV by 01/November or I will no longer use ATT phone, DSL or Dish network. They told me there is nothing they could do. The service person "tried" to get me qualified without success.
So I hung up the phone and I got Comcast with 3X my "uVerse DSL" service speed, more channels and unlimited local and long distance calling for about $80.00/month less than I was paying for all of those services from ATT.
I really don't want Comcast. I hate Comcast. And NO I don't want Direct TV, either. So, so long and thanks for all the bad memories.
Hasta la Vista, ATT!
Update 02/March.2010
I have been trying to get uVerse here for well over 2 years. I continue to see degradation in the performance of my DSL line and Im tired of piss poor upstream bandwidth.
A recently made friend who is a digital line guy for Ameritech investigated and confirmed that I STILL can't get uverse out of the C/O that is literally 1100 linear feet and 2200 cable feet from the dmarq for my sub, 600' cable from my house that has a VRAD sitting out by the street. Go figure.
But he also told me something that just PISSES me off. They now show me as >10,000 cable feet from the C/O, last measured in Nov 2008 at under 6000 cable feet which means they have AGAIN put loads on the circuit either between me and the sub dmarq or between our dmarq and the C/O.
I HATE AMERITECH! I swear if I didn't despise Comcast cable even more I would completely dump everything Ameritech in my home.
I guess I get to go waste even more of my valuable time, probably getting in touch with VP's of customer service AGAIN, demanding a Class A on my line AGAIN all to force Ameritech to just give me the damn service I pay for and to quit screwing with my lines.
Update 24/Nov/2009 3:00PM
I have had uverse available out of my CO (PNTCMINR) for almost 2 years. I am 2135 feet from said CO that has had a VRAD for more than a year with a spinning power meter on it to my sub dmarq and 600 feet from the dmarq to my home
And yet I still can't get uverse. For more than 2 years I have been going to the uverse site, checking availability, filling out the little email/phone number/name questionnaire and faithfully checking the little box "contact me to see how I can help get ATT Uverse in my neighborhood".
No calls. No email. No responses. No service. I obviously have had no problem paying out the wazoo for overpriced Elite DSL service. I also am experiencing the monthly rape called AT&T landline service, I am an AT&T cellphone user and I have Yahoo Dish Network service for my TV.
Obviously, I give ATT too much money for them to consider me a good candidate for their best service. Im sick of the crappy 6Mbit DSL service so I guess its time to switch to Comcast. Ill make sure I take the 20-30 neighbors who asked for help setting up their DSL, wireless and Dish receivers when I tell them to switch with me to Comcast. At least then we will all get faster Internet access. And I guess if I am to believe the Comcast ads, they have a higher quality HD picture and I can dump my AT&T land lines and get Vonage.
If there is anyone with an AT&T uVerse clue that can help me part the sea of cluelessness and actually get uVerse spun up, I am intersted but come Jan 1st, if I don't have uVerse, Im going to say goodbye to ATT DSL, ATT phone and the Dish.
I will make sure I add all of this to my AT&T review as well. It won't make it much worse than it already is but Ill make sure I drop my stars down to 1 just to make a point.
Update 04/Nov/2008 3:005PM
Tom the cable tech came onsite. He ended up replacing my pair to the CO. He is still measuring the cable distance at over 6000 feet. Yes, to the CO 1/4 of a mile away. Over 1 mile. Something is still wrong but Tom is either too clueless or believes that playing stupid would placate me enough to let him feel like he had finished his job and there were no further problems. My line is still only testing to a max speed of ~8Mbit (it has always tested to ~10Mbit) but this is better that the 5 IP addresses (because I host servers) but such is life in Ameritech/SBC/ATT land. I get a TON of marketing garbage every week asking me if I want cheaper DSL (they never advertise cheaper rates for static IP packages), convert from cable to their digital TV service (a partnership with Dish network, and Ive been a Dish subscriber for 6 years) and switch to AT&T cellular (my wife has been a Cingular, now AT&T customer for 5 years) but I guess Ill just let them continue to waste their marketing dollars.
The Funhouse forum is still the best reason to join this website and its the one thing that I can say has kept me being a DSL customer. The moment I can eliminate them from my home for higher bi-directional speed, I will be gone. Their monopoly on my C/O and the state of Michigan will probably prevent that from happening before my 4yr old graduates from high school.
Updated December 25, 2005
I would like to publicly state that BeachBoy, Toaster and (Bill) ROCK! They actually had my line up to correct speed within 5 minutes of me posting. We ran into a few snags caused by me removing voice mail off my DSL line last week but BeachBoy and Bill went WAY above and beyond the call of duty. Both stayed 2 hours beyond the end of their shift to work the the issue.
Thank you BeachBoy, Bill & Toaster! You make me more than thankful this forum is here every time I have ever had an issue! This forum is the reason I am still an SBC customer and it is the only reason I give SBC support 2 HUGE thumbs up!
Updated 05November 2004 -
Had a speed related issue. Solved in minutes by Beach Boy!
Updated 16March2004 - BeachBoy ROCKS! My current tech support rating is based COMPLETELY upon the guys participating in the SBC forum online. Without them, it would be a 1! Needed my password reset. Done in a flash. Needed my speed cap checked. It had been set back to 4Mbit instead of 6Mbit. Reset and working beautifully. THANK YOU!
Updated 16March2004 - BeachBoy ROCKS! My current tech support rating is based COMPLETELY upon the guys participating in the SBC forum online. Without them, it would be a 1! I ordered the Expoert+S upgrade for my DSL line and was having problems getting the expected speed levels out of it. I would post his real name here but I don't think I should. This man is another BIG reason why I am still an SBC DSL customer. Thanks!
Updated 03/01/2004 - MAXO ROCKS! Noon on a Sunday and he helped me try to track down a problem with my sister-in-laws ADSL in Sterling Heights, MI. Now I just wish that there was an online interface to SBIS so that I could request that they reset her Radius session without having to wade through phone hell. This support forum is THE BEST! SBC phone support still sucks rocks. When my s-i-l called up support they told her to go talk to a video game manufacturer about why her DSL wouldn't let her surf. Ill be tracking down that person today to have them reprimanded.
Updated 12Dec2003 - ADSLguy ROCKS! Noticed my bill was reporting that I had Expert/S package but I should only be on Deluxe/S. Sent IM to ADSLguy. He called ME! Asked for confirmation. Called me back 20 minutes later and everything is cool. Just ran speed test: 1286/321. Ive said this before. The online support you get from the Funhouse forum is the best thing that has ever happened to SBC/Ameritech data service. They have again impressed me with their courtesy, prompt follow through and professionalism. They should get a bonus for every good review they get for SBC. THANKS!
Updated 12Oct2003 - If the SBC support forum was offered any place other than DSLReports I would never come back here.
Updated 23Sep2003 Well, I have been VERY happy with SBC. Their front line phone support has been more than a bit of a let down but the support here in the Ameritech/SBC forums is, in a word INCREDIBLE!. I recently split my business line with lineshare ADSL with static IPs off to their own bill. What a circus! The business rep said it was a no brainer. I wouldnt see any downtime or outage. In actuality they canceled my DSL and phone line, assigned a new phone number to me and I was down for 2 days before I could get it all straightened out. In the process I think I got a front line phone support contractor fired for lying to me but its all in a days work. Im upping my view of tech support to 4/5 ONLY because of the support forum here. I pity anyone who has to call in for support.
Updated 21Jan2003 Ameritech is now SBC.
Updated 13Jan2003 0:00:00AM - trying to get it listed as my ISP
On Dec 27 2002 I placed my order to upgrade my 768/160 to 1500/256. The order process went relatively smooth. Due date was 06Jan2003, which came and went. On 07Jan SBC maintenance reported the upgrade as complete but it was not. ADSLguy in the Ameritech tech support forum confirmed that there was an error in the redback profile which still had me capped at 768/160. It took until Thursday night and almost 8 hours on the phone to get an ASI tech through the tech support line to uncap me. Unfortunately another ASI tech re-capped me Friday morning because my business profile hadn't been properly updated by the business office. 8 more hours over 3 more days, 5 - 1st line techs, 3 supervisors, 2 managers, 5 ASI techs, 3 maintenance techs, 4 billing reps, 2 escalation techs, a call to corporate with a demand for an executive appeal and 3 calls with the escalation engineer didn't accomplish what 3 IM's to ADSLguy accomplished in 1 day. I can't say enough about how awesome his support and the other Ameritech personnel in the Ameritech forum has been.
1) Any other DSL provider in my CO offered service
2) Ameritech didn't require you to have a phone line from them on the pair with your DSL line, even though its business class service with static IP's
3) if ANY other telephone company offered local service to me
then I would dump Ameritech in a heartbeat and take every person I know with me. However, Im saying that without the choice nor the experience of actually using any company but Ameritech in Michigan since they still pretty much have the monipoly on service here.
I believe it is robbery that I have to pay $80.00 a month for 1.5Mb/256Kb PLUS $25.00 for a voice line to get a static IP address with 256Kbit upstream bandwidth. Its not like they couldn't put a 1 year checkout on the DHCP for my router. It doesn't take any more engineering to set up a static IP than for a dynamic IP. You can get the exact same speed with a dynamic IP for $49.00 but then theres still that voice line charge.
Tech support is a MAJOR problem for Ameritech. Most of the front line has been outsourced to at least 2 companies who have limited access to the people who can actually do the work. Also, SBC is going through some significant growing pains as it integrates the DSL networks of the other telco's it has purchased. To top it off, they consider the wiring side and the data side two completely seperate companies. THis can cause more than a few headaches when you have wiring related problem which is causing you dificulty with the data circuit.
Overall, the stability of the circuit at 768/160 has been pretty much flawless in the last 18 months which is probably better than what you can say about any other provider. You are taking your life into your own hands if you should ever decide to make a change to either the voice or data side and be prepared wait for a long time to get anything done with painfully long hold times with tech support and thats if you actually know what to ask for and you aren't afraid to ask for managers. You will be far better off using the Ameritech support forum.
If I can answer any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
And when you believe you just can't fight any more, remember the following phrase:
You will need to get to the corporate offices to get it but it can work miracles.
Update 21June2001 - the key to getting things done when you are at your wits end is to contact the Executive Appeals organization, demand an executive appeal and demand an executive complaint number when you file it. 5 weeks after contacting the Executive compaint organization, I now have DSL.
===============Initial order detail===========================
I placed my order for voice service 6 weeks ago, at the direction of Ameritech Team Data, specifically so that I could have DSL active when I move into my new home next week. I work from home and I MUST have connectivity to do my job.
They assigned me a 248-393-XXXX number which is serviced by the PNTCMINR
CO at 3556 Walton, right at the corner of Baldwin and Waldon. This is so close to my house that, if it weren't for trees, I could see it. It is less than 2000 feet. Instead of setting up my lines to be serviced by that CO, they instead set me up to be serviced by the Independance township CO, PNTCMINE(D?) »
at 3385 PONTIAC RD and now they tell me I am (of course) too far from the CO (>14000 feet) and that they won't create a DSL order for me.
I have spent >4 hours on the phone and Ameritech is telling me that they can get my line changed so that it will be serviced by the correct CO so Im crossing my fingers.
I really REALLY do NOT like dealing with Ameritech.

Your U-verse problem
If you want to get faster help, I have two suggestions:
Post in the AT&T Midwest direct forum on this site. More than likely, a technician will get actual help arranged for you.
Secondly, when contacting U-verse technical support, here's a helpful tip:
Immediately upon being greeted, ask to speak to Tier 2. In most cases, you'll get no argument about being transferred, or else you will be asked simply for your account number prior to transfer. If a Tier 1 agent says "well maybe I can help" or "I need to know the problem before I transfer you", politely repeat your request to be transferred to tier 2.
Their job is to transfer you to Tier 2 immediately upon request. Most of the time, that's exactly what happens. The help is from individuals that aren't reading from a "reset your router" script or "run the AT&T speed test that uses AT&T servers" script.
A truck roll may honestly be what you need, but if the technician doesn't have some kind of pooled data that is associated with the type of monitoring that tier 2 can do over the course of a couple of days, he may not really have enough information to fix your problem, even after 2 or 3 trips that are all repeat attempts to fix the same problem.

Over the years I've used dialup (once upon a time that was the best available), WOW, Comcast, and now AT&T DSL. I'd still be using WOW for both internet and TV if they provided service in my current location. At my current location I can get Comcast, AT&T DSL, and perhaps U-Verse (effective this month per a letter I just got). I'm out of range for Clear.
While I started with Comcast, I downgraded to AT&T DSL as the economy when south in 2008. Service was OK at 3.0Mbps (closer to 2.4Mbps actual) as I don't stream videos and can wait for the occasional multi-gigabyte Microsoft betas to download. However, when the service goes south, dealing with tech support is a exercise in futility.
The most recent two outages, which occurred two days in a row, where due to facilities issues between my area and the local (Elmhurst) PPP servers. Both times the India-based support people, limited by the scripts they are required to follow, ran me around changing DSL passwords (twice each time) which didn't change the fact that my DSLAM wasn't connecting to the PPP server (as clearly indicated in the modem's tech readouts). The first tech finally gave up and wrote a ticket which was later attached to the facilities outage ticket. The second tech, apparently more sure of herself, insisted the problem was confined to my line but eventually wrote a ticket. I finally got connected to a U.S. based facilities management group after the second outage and they were able to confirm that both outages where in fact "group" (I call them area) outages - which was no surprise to me as the other IT guy in town and I were both buried both days by customers without DSL service. Even those customers with business class service got the same runaround.
At the moment I'd very reluctant to recommend AT&T DSL to the small businesses I support, especially if they don't have any backup alternate. Any notion I might have had of trying U-Verse for CATV is right out the window and I'm left with the sorry "choice" of returning to Comcast for internet and going to DirecTv for video.

You can always post in the direct forum if you wish. No Tier 1 script kiddies needed. Most we may ask you to do is confirm it with a different modem, but if 2 modems give the same results I would start checking internally.

Re: you can always post in the direct forum
Lost all service last week for 30 hours but I doubt you could have helped - new builder in my subdivision got some lots very cheap and started digging. On his second lot he pulled up a 100 pair cable in a lot between two homes that my builder didn't have any trouble with. AT&T insisted it was a problem with just my line, that they would have to dispatch to test my loop, while all my neighbors got the same run-around.
I gave AT&T the lot number and street address of the cable cut within a hour of the cut (11:00 am) but they didn't even roll a truck till the next day.
What Lily Tomlin said many years ago remains true to this day: "We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company."

Re: you can always post in the direct forum
Service in back but slower than ever. When from 2.4Mb to less than 2.0Mb (and once 600Kb) after the feeder cable was spliced back together. While my modem (Speedstream 4100 this week) claims my maximum download bandwidth (possible, not provisioned) was 9Mb before the cut and is now 8Mb, I'd expect the DSLAM could reshuffle the bits per bin and still make good on the old speed. I can swap out modems as I have Motorola 2210s on hand but I'm thinking it won't help.

Re: you can always post in the direct forum
Another day, another cable cut, another speed drop. This time AT&T just moved me to another pair as the cable wasn't completely cut. While this did get me back up in hours instead of days, I'm now getting 1.0Mb downloads, half of what I got after the last cut and only 1/3 of what I'm paying for. Between the new construction in my neighborhood, the road work in my town, and AT&T's "let it rot" approach to copper loops, I don't expect the outside plant will ever improve. The tech did say that the U-Verse customers on the same 100 pair cable I'm on will really suffer since the bonding (grounding) of the cable is shot. At least with the drought, I won't have to worry about wet pairs till next spring, assuming I don't punt AT&T.

Re: you can always post in the direct forum
Update - so far the approved AT&T repair for the now bare 100 pair cable is a wooden pallet over the hole.
Construction summary:
1) new homes in my formerly mothballed subdivision
2) widening rt 47 to four lanes through Yorkville to Sugar Grove - so far most of the utility polls have be moved, the gas main moved, and business signs relocated - actual road work is "any day"
3) new high pressure gas main along rt 34 from Plano to Yorkville (so far)

still one big joke with most support other then ASI
teleco seems the be one of the largest parts of the pie
order nightmare they lie out theyre arse to get you to order!!
the say they allow servers but in the tos it says no so what is it?
im heading to the zoo to talk to some baboons to see if they work for the sales office!!!
install nightmare!!!
didnt have sync till 2 days after my due date! load coil!
even after that they messed up my email!
most of the techs are moronic and thats being nice!!
stuck at 384/128 for 21 days and they wanted to argue about it
didnt get to tier 2 support till i threatened a lawsuit!
and even then they still didnt fix it! it would still be that way if it wasnt for the ppl on here!
one dns server is still down ive told them a few times they never told me what the mail servers address was
after all the crap it now works from what seems to be good but was it worth the work i had to do to get it to work? they couldnt do it and its theyre job!!!
BOTTOM OF THE LINE move as far away from ameritech as you can i hear BT is good in the UK maybe we should all move there lol
UPDATE: im at 768/128 like i had to fight to be. i called asi and got it fixed myself.
it works well other then the 2 times i was capped for no reason after i was uncapped. distance isnt the issue and wasnt the issue ever. well so far its been ok other then that and unstable ping times from time to time(not between me and redback its isp issues) i will still not up my rating because they deserve what they got and still do. not all the techs are bad but alot are. and they contiune with crap with 2 other people i know and the distance isnt the issue there either.
UPDATE: upped tech support to reflect the techs that frequent this forum and those few good ones out there.
UPDATE: still the same old crappy speed its funny how companies dont have to maintain lines, still no upgrades of anykind other than moving boxes and poor workmanship on the teleco side of this its always nice when the insulation is falling off the wires on the teleco side, but i guess it works still somewhat not due to anything with sbc atech, thanks to the techs asi for all the help i got its bad when a hand full of techs even know wtf is going on or care about it when you have a large very heavily outsourced company with undermaned line techs on the teleco side. especially in a heavily populated area
UPDATE: still the same old crappy speeds no network updates around here! this is even after 8 years! gee i wish i could start something and never maintain it at all ever after all this time!

Comcast Business..
Update 10-10-10
Connection slows down, on average, to 1Mb during peak times and latency doubles. That's are little better than a cell card. Latency jumps from about 30ms to as high as 125ms during these times.
Connection is no longer consistently usable for many purposes. It still works OK for email, vpn, and VoIP, but is too slow for video and most high bandwidth uses.
After 10 calls and 10 hours on the phone, they finally switched me to a new redback and fixed the problem.
update 10-2-11
ATT raised pricing from $20 to $43. Along with the caps, DSL is obsolete, Uverse still not available for me. Disconnected and went to Comcast business.

AT&T Elite, is a "fast" service that has many lies behind all the words said on commercial for our area. The announced 5MB/S is actually 500 KB/s, with a 30 second down time every 40-90 seconds, in other words you cannot even connect to the internet without the internet being down. We have had technician after technician come in and they just upgrade our internet or just take away the cost of our bill [completely free for the whole month]. I mean it is nice, but I'd rather pay full price for something that would work and I could actually use for at least 1 hour and a 5 hour disconnect. This internet service is obviously not for hardcore gamers or people who are hosting servers for other purposes or businesses that would like to even hold internet. AT&T is bottom line not worth the money in the South Sacramento area.
AT&T clearly stated on the phone. This would be easier if you had AT&T cable which is why it is cheaper to have AT&T cable with AT&T internet. Which we said we would rather have Direct TV because it is more cheaper and efficient as we don't use the Cable as much as other American's do.

"I am so grateful to have experienced the mountain, your staff, office, and everything this trip provides. I will always remember this climb."
"The balance between taking the mountain and the work site seriously and still having fun was just right. This came down to your ability to keep everything under control and still keep the atmosphere nice and relaxed.

Antiquity is busy today, as Rome II's patch 16 pops into existence with performance improvements, tweaks to battles and campaigns, and balancing changes. A little more glamorous are the two bits of DLC which also launched today, and one of them's free.
You'll need to shell out £5.99/$7.99 for the Black Sea colonies pack, which comes with three new factions along with new cultural traits, faction traits and units. And if you'd rather keep your cash safe, you can still get Rome II's 12th piece of free DLC, the faction of Massilia.

|The Aspire Zone
For as long as history goes back, Qatar has never expressed interest in women's sports at the world level. (Due to their religion and culture) In fact, Qatar has never had a female athlete compete in an Olympic games until 2012 when Noor Hussain Al-Malki made history by being selected to represent Qatar in track and field. (Although she injured herself and could not compete) Their gymnastics program didn't come about until 2002 when it was created by Jacqueline Quirin-Herbrand at a world class facility in Doha called "Aspire Zone" which is basically heaven for any Qatar athlete. Otherwise known as the Doha Sports City, the Aspire Zone is a 2.5 square kilometer complex that has a 50,000 seat stadium, an Olympic sized swimming pool, and indoor facility's for 13 sports including gymnastics. Although they only have a national team of about 8 girls, they are determined to make a difference. Shaden Whadan is a 16 year old gymnast from Qatar who has represented her country at the 2010 Youth Olympics, making her the first female to compete for Qatar at an Olympic event, her leotard from that competition proudly hangs in an Olympic museum that was opened up in Qatar. Shaden also was the first women from Qatar to not only represent her country at the Arab games, but win multiple medals. The most difficult part of women's sports in Qatar is finding appropriate uniforms. "The dress code is a big problem in these sports." said Lolwah Al Marri, the general Secretary of Qatar's Olympic committee. But for Shaden, it is the least of her worries, "It's not a problem. I don't really care what people think. I just want to compete and win medals!" she says. And that's exactly what she has been doing. Shaden was happy to share with us how she got started in gymnastics, what gymnastics is like in Qatar, and her future plans.

Triple Twist: When did gymnastics in Qatar develop and how did you get started?
Shaden: "My mum got me into gymnastics because she believed that the basics to any sport was in gymnastics, so I got pretty good at it and continued. I also come from a family with an athletic background, both my parents did athletics/track&field. Gymnastics was introduced in Qatar in 2002 and that was when I officially joined."
Triple Twist: What do you think has been your greatest acomplisnment in gymnastics so far?
Shaden: "The most memorable thing through my journey as a gymnast was achieving 5 medals at the 2011 Arab Games. I won 2 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze medal. Another memorable experience was representing Qatar in 2010 at the first youth Olympics in Singapore."
Triple Twist: What does it mean to you to be able to represent your country on the world stage?
Shaden: "It is an honor for me to represent my country and I really enjoy it."
Triple Twist: Do you have a role model in gymnastics?
Shaden: "Nastia Liukin"
Triple Twist: What would you like to see happen in the future of Qatar gymnastics?
Shaden: "I predict that gymnastics in Qatar will improve and that our level as gymnasts will develop."
Triple Twist: Do you plan to continue with gymnastics? If so, what are your plans?
Shaden: "I hope to continue with gymnastics, but i'm focusing more on my education since I just started university. Its been really hard and frustrating to balance both tasks, but I hope I can do it. I plan to achieve a medal in the upcoming challenge cups that I will be participating in. If not the next one.. then the ones after that."
Triple Twist: What would you like to do when you are done with gymnastics?
Shaden: "After i'm done with my gymnastics career, I hope to graduate from my university with a bachelors degree and become a sports reporter."
Triple Twist: How many hours do you train per week?
Shaden: "I train 3 and a half hours a day, 6 times a week."
Triple Twist: Women competing in sports is not very common in Qatar, why do you think that is?
Shaden: "Women's sports in Qatar was not so popular in the past due to religion and culture, but as you can see there has been a sudden change and women in Qatar seem to be having a breakthrough with all the accomplishments and achievements they have made in different sports. It takes a lot of hard work and training to make it to the highest level."
Triple Twist: Who gives you the best advice?
Shaden: "The best advice I must say came from my mum who has been very supportive and encouraging by attending every competition of mine and always being there for me whenever I feel down."

Media examines how media has examined the examination of the media
NEW YORK, NY - Under increased media scrutiny, the media's examination of how the media has examined the media is undergoing a full examination. The examination is being reported in various forms of media, and then being examined in its examination.
"I, for one, am quite happy with how this examination is taking place," said Professor of Journalism Dr. Kenneth Owens. "It is important for young journalism students to be able to look at how the media covers events. It is equally important for young journalism students to understand how the media covers the examination of how they covered events. It is also quite important to examine that examination. The only thing more important in media is to have good hair and teeth. A really nice head of hair and a glowing smile. Everyone is getting 'A's' on that so far."
The latest examination of the examinations of the media examination have shown some areas in which the media needs to do a better job. For example, many are beginning to believe that further examination is warranted.
"Obviously, the results are not great," said media analyst Dr. Philip Rodgers. "This thorough examination of how the media examines the media is in need of further examination. I, along with others, plan to examine this phenomenon. I then hope that our examination will be examined in a positive light, and if not, I hope that analyzation is examined and found to have not been examined correctly."

If you thought Bristol Palin and The Situation's dancing was awkward, just wait until you see their abstinence PSA! The Dancing with the Stars castmates paired up for a commercial in support of the Candies Foundation, a nonprofit that works toward the prevention of teen pregnancy. Their intentions are good, but the results are -- well, check out the 90-second spot below. Try not to wince.
Amazing, right? It's like one of those embarrassing videos we had to watch in sixth grade health class, crossed with deleted scenes from Jersey Shore. The whole thing can pretty much be summed up in this line, spoken by The Situation to Bristol:
"Well, just in case you do get into a situation, I wanna make sure that you are situated, because if you do get into a situation with your situation, you may end up with a situation, and you may not like that situation."
In case that wasn't clear, the Situation is telling Bristol Palin not to have unprotected sex because she might get pregnant. And if we were Bristol Palin, we would probably say something like, "Hellooo? Where have you been since for the past three years?"
In fact, what we'd really like to see Bristol do in this ad, is lecture the Situation on how to treat women like people instead of objects. Even though he says "I totally respect abstinence" (because "it has the word abs in it" -- groooan), we don't exactly get that message from his actions on Jersey Shore. In fact, it seems like The Situation has very little respect for any woman who doesn't want to sleep with him within ten minutes of meeting him. What kind of message does that send to teenagers who are struggling with these issues?
It's great that popular young stars are encouraging teens to think before they have sex ("pause before you play"). But wouldn't it be better to see The Situation walk the walk, instead of speaking all that awkward dialogue?
Do you think The Situation is a good spokesperson for abstinence? Chime in below!

USA, 2001 (MIFF 2002, International Panorama)
Director: Frank Whaley
Jimmy is the kind of schmuck who might have stepped off a Coen Brothers set: disillusioned and resentful of his mortal coil. He works as a grocery store clerk alongside stoner co-worker Ray (a lively performance by Ethan Hawke, see Tape, also in the Festival), stealing cases of beer to compensate for his emotional emptiness. Jimmy returns home to his neglected wife, invalid grandmother and infant child. Following numerous vapid dreams, his latest is standup comedy. His material is at once lame and confessional about his blunted existence, slowly growing darker and aggressive. The hard truth for Jimmy - which makes for a highly compelling script - is that ultimately he doesn't have what it takes.
Freed from the trappings of the 'misunderstood genius' genre, actor-director Frank Whaley has injected deep fascination in his subject. In the title role, Whaley - a face you'll know from Pulp Fiction, JFK, Hoffa and The Doors - is impressive as the downtrodden sod who yearns for both our sympathies and attention.
Frank Whaley (born in New York, 1963) studied theatre at Albany State University. A working actor in theatre, television and more than 30 films, he made his directing debut with Joe the King (1999), for which he also wrote the screenplay. The Jimmy Show is his second feature.
