A FEMA assistance center opens in Sullivan County, an area hit particularly hard by Sandy and where residents experienced power outages for weeks. YNN's Elaina Athans has more.
THOMPSON, N.Y. -- Folks are looking to the federal government to help with the financial blow Sandy brought. An assistance center set up in the Town of Thompson. Three weeks after the storm, people were able to meet with FEMA and register for aid.
"If you have some questions, you've got somebody in front of you that can answer. And some people don't like to talk over the phone, they rather do it personal. So this is a face-to-face attempt," said Sullivan County Public Safety Commissioner Richard Martinkovic.
Roland Ward was among those seeking a hand to pick up the pieces. He's retired, has a wife who's sick and needs constant care and after Sandy, he has a roof that needs to be replaced.
At his home in South Fallsburg, buckets have been placed inside the house and shingles are scattered around his yard.
"This is a serious disaster headache because I gotta keep checking the buckets when it rains to see how much water's coming in," said Ward.
A total of three trees toppled on his property. Not only was his roof severely damaged, but also one of his cars was crushed.
"The person I spoke from FEMA explained everything. So I know exactly what route to take now to get some help," said Ward.
Roland plans to get a contractor to his house, to check out exactly what needs to be done. FEMA will then have to send in an inspector for a review.
The agency is short on inspectors right now, so it could be a week before there's a visit and $30,000 can be provided for repairs and for Ward. He'll need of every dollar possible.
"If I can't get some assistance, I'll have to get a loan and I don't know how I'm going to do that. But I'm going to try," said Ward.
If you were unable to visit an assistance center and still need to register with FEMA, you can call their hotline number. It's 1-800-621-3362. Additional registration centers will be announced as they are opened at other locations.

A High Note
About 3,770 miles away from Louisville lives a 14-year-old boy in Ireland who's arguably one of the biggest fans of the Breeders' Cup. In fact, Mark Boylan is such a huge enthusiast of the event, he wrote a song called "Stateside," dedicated to the World Championships.
We spoke to Boylan, who is coming to Louisville – and the United States – for the first time with his family to perform "Stateside," which has been chosen as this year's Breeders' Cup anthem. Boylan will sing the song in front of thousands of people at Churchill Downs on Saturday, Nov. 5.
What inspired you to write "Stateside"?
I'm just so in love with the Breeders' Cup, and I think it's the ultimate test for a thoroughbred. It deserves a song to do it justice.
When you uploaded the song to YouTube, did you ever imagine it would have this impact?
You're never expecting it really, but you have to have an element of hope. I sent it off to Breeders' Cup and got a reply pretty quickly. They really seemed to be interested in it. I'm delighted to have the chance to go over (to the U.S.) to perform the song. It's unbelievable.
Is there anything you're anticipating or hoping to see on your visit?
I'm looking forward to what I've seen on TV. It looks to be a fantastic place. Everyone in school has been talking about it and the story is making national newspapers here. To perform at Breeders' Cup will be absolutely huge and unbelievable.
I'll be doing a few TV and radio appearances while I'm there as well, which will be very unique in itself. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the whole vibe of the place – how real America is and just to experience how things are over there. And, one thing I'm hoping to get to see is some music places. I'm quite interested in that side of things.
How long will you be in Louisville?
My family and I are flying out this Monday. We will be there for six days. I'm really excited. I'm going to be tired the next day. Nothing will stop me, though. Rain, hail or shine, it won't stop me. We're going to make the most of our time. It'll be new boundaries for all of us.
Are you nervous about performing at Breeders' Cup in front of thousands of people?
Nerves have never been a factor for me really. I feel there's no reason to be nervous at all. Picking up that guitar, there might be those one or two butterflies in my stomach, but once I start there wont be a bother, as we say in Ireland. I'm performing in front of racing fans, and I'm a racing fan as well. Hopefully they'll say, "Yes! Victory for racing!" And hopefully also say "Victory for Ireland!" I'm sharing what I love with everyone else. There's no reason to be nervous then.
"Stateside," is available for download on iTunes for $1.29. At Boylan's request, all proceeds from the download will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund.
On the Air
Tune in to WHAS11's morning show "Great Day Live!" – hosted by Rachel Platt and Terry Meiners – on Tuesday, Nov. 1, to hear Mark sing "Stateside" live.

Moscow Auto Show gaining importance
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Sep 7th, 2012 at 8:43AM
Has the Moscow Motor Show reached international relevance? If one were to look at the recent unveilings from Russia, the evidence may support that theory. A Road & Track report makes the assertion that Russia, like many other automotive markets, has matured independently to the point where it has less interest in the major international auto shows that are not held on their soil. As a result, formerly relevant auto shows in Italy, Japan and the UK have downgraded in size and, in some cases, aren't even being held. Additionally, R&T points to automakers using local ride and drive... Read More

Charleston business owner arrested for failing to pay withholding taxes
Charleston, SC --- Dennis D'Annunzio of Mt. Pleasant was arrested today by South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) special investigators for seven counts of failure to pay withholding taxes. D'Annunzio, 66, could face penalties of up to 35 years in jail and/or $70,000 in fines if convicted of the charges.
D'Annunzio is the owner and operator of Rotomotion, LLC located at 459-C Jessen Lane in Charleston. During 2005-2011, D'Annunzio issued W2 forms to the employees at the end of each year and withheld state income tax from each employee's gross pay. However, D'Annunzio failed to file the required withholding returns and also failed to pay withholding taxes that were due to SCDOR.
By failing to pay withholding taxes for these seven years, D'Annunzio has an outstanding tax liability of $60,788.98 due to the state.
D'Annunzio is currently being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center in Moncks Corner pending a bond hearing.

text: 4 im a reacher-creature and that means I love the booksmarkygenius | 08/04/2013 | See all markygenius's reviews (3)Ok I'll keep this as simple as I can. I love the books I've read them all, some are great, some aren't but none are bad. Now did I want tom cruise for the role of the giant battle scarred 6'5" man killing ex military police major jack reacher? No. But the fact is tom cruise makes great movies and I like tom so I gave him his "one shot" and for me even though he'll never be the jack from the books he yet again made a great movie. Its a thriller more than an action movie though the action is good as you would expect and all the actors are great in this. Christopher mcquarrie pulls off a master stroke in my opinion as within the movie the scene at the beginning on what the story is about is revisited in brutal detail later on and for some at the cinema I was at found this to be quite emotional and I actually saw someone cry. So its amusing and its tense and it's thrilling and may be one of tom's more underrated roles and the more enjoyable to watch for it. Is it worth 20 quid on blue ray? Well are any nowadays? But it's definitely worth seeing in my opinion especially as Christopher mcquarrie was also responsible for the usual suspects another excellent film. I actually hope they make another though which one it would be I can only imagine as it would need to be cherry picked to suit tom's stature.Watch it you won't be disappointed and true reacher fans of which I call myself one you need to chill out as this might be the only reacher film you see on the screen and it wasn't that bad and realistically who in hollywood could physical really play jack reacher while being a believable actor? I would love to see a 6'5" man warrior detective who can also act but who is there out there that fits the bill?Just watch it it's good.

Rumormill: Volvo reportedly suspends plan to launch production S60 at Frankfurt
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Aug 31st, 2009 at 8:27AM
Volvo's plan to debut the production version of its all new S60 sedan next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show have apparently been canceled. According to a report out of the Netherlands from Autotelegraaf, the new mid-size sedan now won't launch until sometime in 2010. The S60 was shown in concept form at this year's Detroit Auto Show and was one of several concepts shown with Ford's upcoming 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine. The reason for the delay isn't entirely clear, but there is apparently still work to be done and Volvo will be taking the S60 to the Nürburgring next month for test... Read More

pretty obvious "it's better than the other options" ploy to get people to accept the pelicans.
Anything but Mosquitoes or Pelicans.. Why cant we just be called the Sharks?
Off the Krewe bandwagon. Officially rollin with the Rou!
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Me gusto Rougarou!
"I want ONLY 9 eyebrows in the starting lineup for the Hornets next year." I typed this before the draft lottery
I like it cause its unique and can be a bad a** mascot but I love how we have adjust the Bee with the fleur-de-lis.
Halle lobbe rougarou!!! Romanes eunt domus Pelicans!!!
Je pense que Rougarou et Bullsharks sont les meilleurs noms pour cette équipe ! Tu es d'accord Eman?
I doubt this name is going to be picked but i honestly would rather this over everything ive heard. I hope we arent the only ppl crazy bout this name.

New Caterham signing Kamui Kobayashi said no to a Ferrari deal in order to return to the Formula One grid.
After a year on the sideline, in which he took part in the World Endurance Championship with Ferrari, Kobayashi will contest this year's Championship having signed with Caterham.
That deal, though, was not the 27-year-old's only offer as Ferrari were looking to hold onto him.
"I have to say they're not really happy about my decision. But I said to Stefano [Domenicali], 'This is my dream, to be in Formula 1, and I think this is the last chance to be a race driver'," he told Sky Sports F1.
"He gave me a good offer but unfortunately I had to decide this way. This is all my decision and definitely I had to say to Stefano thanks for all the support last year. It was a very great experience for me but I'm here for Formula 1, not for driving GT."
Kobayashi also revealed that he won't be paid by Caterham, such was his determination to be back on the grid.
"I'm driving for free, it is my decision," he told Autosport. It is just my approach. I want to do this job. This appeals to Tony [Fernandes], this was the message to Tony and he is happy about that.
"I want to help the team. I don't care about the money. I want to be successful in my life and I want to bring the team back successfully in my goals."

Blood Draining is the best survival enchant. While it's not strictly EH, it's the closest you'll get from a weapon enchant.
As far as Blade Ward vs. Mongoose vs. +26 agility, I haven't done the requisite research in order to answer that fully (for a Warrior). I doubt it matters much though, none of the weapon enchants are all that stellar.

I signed up for a DSL line through AT&T because they told me they had this great special for $20 a month. I did not want to pay more than that so I signed up and I sent in for a $100 mail in rebate for my router. After the first month, I did not receive a bill. I waited until the next month, and still no bill so I went to the office nearby to make sure they had the right address, but they couldn't change or access my account without my account number which would only be on a bill.... which I did not get, then after being hung up on and on the phone for over an hour they said they had my billing address changed to the right one.
Worst part was the fact that my bill was $150, not the $20/mo rate they promised me.... saying it would kick in after the first three months. Next month came around, and NO BILL! So I called again to change the address, they still had the wrong address so they changed it again, then tried to sell me some extra stuff, no thank you...
After all this I received a bill yesterday of $171!!! Does that sound like $20/mo? NO they rape their customers for their money and lie in order to have customers. Oh yeah, and that $100 rebate for the router I was supposed to have gotten, never came, I'm sure they decided to keep that too.

Ben There on 02/06/2011:
One of my coworkers had a very similar experience with the "$20 a month" service being much higher on his first bills. Apparently they had so many complaints that AT&T sent him an explanation letter explaining why the first bills were much higher than quoted - before he even had a chance to call and complain.
Sounds to me like the call center staff at AT&T were misinformed, or left out the initial fees on purpose to make a sale.
With my few conversations with AT&T call centers I am not surprised... they were all extremely unhelpful.

The Worst EVER Service
Posted by
My name is Cheryl Anderson and on 8-4-10 I visited their online site to order a packaged bundle service. I was getting all three services, phone, DSL, and Direct TV. I thought the company would be less expensive than Cox Communications, the company I was currently dealing with. However what I thought would be an easy and simple process soon turned into the worst consumer service nightmare Iâve ever experienced in my life! On 8-11-10 AT&T telephone technicians came out to change my line from Cox to AT&T. Before they arrived I called AT&T to see what time they would be coming because no one told me the hour of their arrival, just the date. While I was on the phone trying to get this information, I discovered that my order for the DSL hadnât been received. I found that to be strange considering when I placed the order online it confirmed that my order had gone through for all 3 services. The representative on the line included the service and told me that I would receive the DSL hardware on Friday, 8-13-10. While I was on the phone with her, the phone technicians arrived. For the most part they did what they were supposed to do, however I was under the impression that they would take care of hooking up the phone service as well as the Direct TV. The telephone technicians informed me that they had nothing to do with Direct TV, they were strictly phone guys and they could not tell me anything about when the technicians for Direct TV would be out. Wow. I had taken that day off of work for the sole purpose of having ALL my services connected on that day because that was the impression I was given by AT&T. So I called AT&T again to inquire about when the Direct TV technicians would be out to install my service. Wouldnât you know it; AT&T had NO record of me ordering Direct TV. Isnât that something? I found it to be beyond something. Consequently I had to order the Direct TV service on 8-11-10, something I THOUGHT I had done on 8-4-10. After setting up the Direct TV installation date and time, I thought all was well. A few setbacks but as long as I was getting what I had ordered I was fine. However I was perturbed that I would have to take off another day for the technicians to install the Direct TV service. The telephone technicians went back and forth with a few phone jacks in my home and concluded that the jack in the kitchen worked and the jack in my loft worked. The ones that were in the bedrooms and the living room did not. That was fine because I was told by the Cox Communications technician when Iâd first moved in that the only jack that worked was the one in the loft. HE suggested that I get a satellite type phone. I would plug the main/base phone into the jack in the loft and spread the other handsets throughout the house. That was a swell idea to me and I had been using that for the past three years without ONE problem with phone service. NEVER had a problem with the main phone being in the loft and using satellite handsetsâ¦that is until AT&T came and messed it up! The technicians managed to get the kitchen jack to work (we were under the assumption that it didnât work) and they CLAIMED the jack in the loft work, something I already knew. They left. Later that evening though, I found that my phone was not ringing properly. Then the next day, 8-12-10, my mother called me and asked me to call the house because she was having problems with it not ringing. The only way she knew someone was calling was by the phone lighting up and the caller id appearing on the handset. I called the house and I got one ring and then some static and then a busy signal. I called several times and I continued to get the same thing. When I finally managed to get her back on the phone she told me how the phone didnât ring at all! As Iâm sure you can imagine at this point I was not pleased, especially in light of the fact that they claimed to not have my DSL or Direct TV order. I was at work at this time and I had to take time out of my day to deal with this problem. I called AT&T to address this problem as well as address the fact that they never had record of my DSL order or Direct TV order. I had to call twice because I couldnât get the satisfaction I needed from the first call. Because I was very close to cancelling EVERYTHING, I was transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor listened to my problem and I will say, out of all the people that I had spoken to by that time and afterwards at ATT, she was the only one who seemed to be concerned about my issueâ¦SEEMED! I relayed my situation to her and she got on the phone with the repair department while she kept me on hold. However she would come back every few minutes to assure me that she was trying to take care of the problem. By the end of the call 40 minutes had passed. She did managed to have a technician to come out on 8-12-10 to look at my phone line and she made sure that my Direct TV order was correct and in order as well as the DSL. She made sure all of the stated prices that Iâd received when I ordered it online were correct as well. I cannot remember her name, it may have been Ms. Johnson, but she did give me her email address in case I ever had any problems. She told me to contact her if I ever had any issues. Her email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. With that I was somewhat satisfied that things would finally be working correctly with no problems. WRONG! Because I have to go to work everyday to pay for these services, I was not home when the technician came out on 8-12-10. My elderly mother was home and since she was aware of the problem, she allowed the technician to come and do what he was SUPPOSED to do. When I returned home and asked her about what happened, imagine my utmost contempt when she told me the technician told her that the jack/line in the loft did not work and that I would have to get it repaired and it would cost me $90!!! I was beside myself with anger because I was completely BAFFLED as to how a line that worked PERFECTLY on 8-10-10 and the early morning of 8-11-10 goes to NOT WORKING on 8-12-10 AFTER 3 AT&T technicians came out to work on it??? And IâM supposed to pay for it??? Livid is too mild a word to describe how I was feeling at that moment. Naturally I proceeded to call their fabulous customer service line to get someone to explain this madness to me. I proceeded to tell the representative the whole problem from the beginning to the end and she told me that she was going to make sure it gets to a supervisor and that the supervisor would call me back. That was on 8-12-10. As of TODAY, 8-27-10, Iâm still waiting on that call!!!!!!(8-27-10 is the day that I actually wrote this letter to be sent to AT&T). She tells me a supervisor will call me back. Friday comes, no call. By the time 2 pm on 8-13-10 arrived, I felt that it was ridiculous that I wasnât getting anything from AT&T but a headache. I then called AT&T AGAIN to complain about this supervisor never calling me and again, reiterating my problem in complete detail. The representative told me that the supervisors are out in the field and that there was NO way she could tell me when heâd call me back. The best she could tell me was that he had until 6pm on 8-17-10 to call me. That was incomprehensible to me. I found it rather strange that every time I wanted to speak to someone in charge, I had to wait for THEM to call me back. It seems this is done at THEIR convenience and not the customers, the ones who are PAYING for these services. Since I could not get any satisfaction with that particular rep, I decided I would cancel all services but then I recalled the lady I spoke to on 8-12-10 who so politely gave me her email address so that I could contact her should I have any problems. I emailed her. It is attached to this letter. I explained in the email, in detail, everything that had happened in those last 3 days and I also expressed my complete dissatisfaction with AT&T. I included my home and cell phone number if she needed to contact me. This is where the âSEEMEDâ comes in. As of today, 8-27-10, I have YET to receive ANY kind of acknowledgement of my email!!! How naive I was to believe this was someone who really wanted to make sure I was a satisfied customer. How silly of me. By this point I was TOTALLY THROUGH with AT&T. I waited through the weekend up into the next week waiting for SOMEONE to get in touch with me about my so called broken line. NO ONE CONTACTED ME ABOUT ANYTHING! The Direct TV technician came out on 8-17-10 and did a wonderful job in hooking up my service. I could not believe the stark contrast in customer service I received from these two companies that are supposed to be working together. It was amazing. He was a great help to me. Unfortunately, before he began to hook the cable lines to the receiver and connect my television, he informed me that when he made this connection I would lose my internet service. It had something to do with the way the cable lines were run. I could not believe it. Here I had a complete DSL system waiting to go, ready to be used but no working phone line to connect it to. The only working line was in my kitchen. What a GREAT place to hook up my computer. GREAT place. Just where I would want a desktop, sitting next to my microwave oven!!! I was so beyond angry. I got on the phone immediately AGAIN with AT&T to find out when this phantom supervisor was going to contact me. AGAIN I had to go into detail with yet ANOTHER representative about my problem, who by the way wasnât too polite. I did not like his tone with me at all. He talked to me as though I was the one who was causing the trouble. I asked him several times about talking to someone in charge and he more or less brushed me off. He told me the same ridiculous story Iâd been hearing since 8-12-10. At this point it was 8-17-10 and my phone line was STILL in disrepair with NO ONE on AT&Tâs end trying to find a solution or making an attempt to fix the problem. He told me, like Iâd heard twice before already, that the supervisor would call me. Oh My GOD! Here we go again. However this was with a twist. The âSupervisorâ would call me by 6pm that evening. Really? I hung up with him telling me that hogwash. I then attempted to call another number that I thought would connect me to some office or department other than the ones I kept getting because starting on 8-12 until 8-17 I kept getting the same lies from the representatives. I say lies because like I have stated before, I never received a call from a supervisor EVER! I found a number that seemed to be different and I was hoping it would connect me to a department that could REALLY help me. Again my naiveté got the best of me. I got yet ANOTHER representative telling me the same garbage I had been hearing the last week! âA supervisor will contact you by 6pm this evening.â I was irate! I was so irate, I was near tears with frustration with how I could get absolutely NO ONE TO MAKE ANY EFFORT IN GETTING MY PROBLEM FIXED!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! NO ONE!!!!! On 8-17-10 at 6pm, no phone in my house rang. No cell phone in my house rang. 6:30 pm⦠still no calls. NOTHING FROM THIS PHANTOM SUPERVISOR!!!! Like Iâve stated earlier, today is 8-27-10 and I am still waiting on that supposed supervisor to call me. By Tuesday evening I made up my mind to cancel all services with ATT. I kept the Direct TV ONLY because they are a separate entity from AT&T and I can deal with them directly and because the Direct TV technicianâs customer service skills was superb! I never opened the DSL package and it was delivered to UPS on 8-20-10 to be returned to sender. On 8-23-10 I cancelled ALL services I was remotely connected to through AT&T. I cannot believe the totalâ¦inconsideration this company has shown me. I cannot believe the STRESS that I had to endure trying to get AT&T to do THEIR job!!! I cannot believe that AT&T would come into my house and ruin a phone line that had been working PERFECTLY WELL the last three years with COX COMMUNICATIONS and then have the nerve to say I have to pay for it to be repaired! I cannot believe with all the calls I made and all the representatives I spoke to (and not in my nice voice because I was HIGHLY UPSET) NO ONE TRIED TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM!!! NO ONE! I canât get over that!!!! I was TOTALLY DISREGARDED!!! By 8-17-10, AT&T had to be quite aware of my issue and that I was far from happy about it. But no moves were made to rectify it. Oh, Iâm sorry⦠some moves were made eventually⦠on 8-20-10. WOW! A call I was supposed to receive, or rather expecting to receive on 8-12-10 from a âsupervisorâ never materializes⦠but somehow a technician shows up at 5pm on 8-20-10 wanting to know about my phone line problem. Really? Really. He was sent away without entering the home because by that time I was done with AT&T. DONE!!! I donât want anything from them EVER again!!! I donât want a phone book, I donât want junk mail, I donât even want to see their commercials on the television! Cox Communications can charge me $500 a month for services and I will gladly take that over anything AT&T can EVER offer me!!!! BEYOND awful service! BEYOND!!! I am getting angry about it again. I was so stressed out behind this. I was experiencing headaches on end. NO ONE should have to go through what I have been through with ANY service company!!! I donât know what kind of operation AT&T claims to be. It is quite obvious customer service falls very low on their list of priorities. Their customers mean absolutely NOTHING to them, as I have found out the hard way. They truly give a squat about the people who are paying out the nose for these services. New customers switching from their MAIN adversary in this region, AT&T could give two dead flies for. We mean absolutely nothing to you but a dollar⦠but then again, no. Not my dollar.

Very poor service from AT&T
Posted by
August 11, 2010
To whom it may concern,
This letter is to express my frustration and disgust with AT&T and the service that I was provided while trying to set up my business phone line, fax and DSL service.
I have been a residential customer of AT&T for the past 22 years with 16 years at my current address and phone number. I have a home phone line. I had a home fax line. I am also a wireless customer with AT&T. On the home fax line I had my DSL service, for about 3 years, with very few problems.
On July 9, 2010 I placed an order for two new business phone lines. A tech was dispatched to my home to set up my two new lines on July 12. He did his job, but, another tech was sent out on July 21 to add lines to the inside of my house and get my service up and running. While he was here, he asked if I would be keeping my home fax. I said that I would not need that line, but, my DSL ran on that line. He had me cancel the phone number and my DSL service (he used the existing line for the new fax line) and told me that when he had completed his job I needed to call AT&T and have my DSL service moved to the new fax line (that he had just installed.)
I set up an appointment to have my new DSL connected on July 23, 2010. The tech said that there was a problem but that his boss (John Houston 312-307-7572) would make sure that my service was up and running by 8pm. It was not. I spoke to John on the phone and was told that my DSL service would be up and running by the time I woke up Saturday morning. It was not. I left on vacation for a week and came home to no internet service. On August 4th a tech was to be dispatched to âfix the problemâ and get my line up and running. On August 4th, I called AT&T to check on the status of my order and to see where the tech was. I was told that I had received a phone message that there was a problem with getting the DSL service that I had ordered. (The message was left with 815-836-8655â¦that is not my phone numberâ¦I did not receive the messageâ¦how ironic that AT&T, my phone service provider, canât get the number correct). AT&T said that they would send a tech out on August 5th. The tech came out. He noted that I did have DSL on my line, but, that it was running terribly slow. He checked my order and said that the order was for the lowest package that you offered. I know that I ordered the fastest DSL package that AT&T offered as it was important to my business. While the tech was working on my line, I called AT&T and upgraded to the âELITEâ package (I was told that the âELITEâ DSL would be up and running by close of business on August 9th.)
After more than 3 hours of working the tech came back to my house and said that AT&T could not provide me with the DSL that I had ordered. He said that he was told by his boss (Paul Zivat) that they are upgrading the DSL lines and that they are not setting up any new service in the area! Even though I had been an AT&T DSL customer in the past, they would not restore my service to the level that I once enjoyed.
Apparently, when I cancelled the DSL service on my home fax line I lost the ability to have a usable and dependable AT&T DSL line in my home. Although I had a usable and dependable DSL line for the past 3 or so years, provided by AT&T, cancelling my phone line left me out in the cold. NO ONE at AT&T informed me that I was grandfathered in and that had I not cancelled my line, I would still have my AT&T DSL service. Basically, AT&T has refused to service my family and business.
On August 6th, after many phone calls to AT&T, I was told that I could get AT&T DSL on my home phone line as the customer service representative felt the problem was with the fact that it was a business lineâ¦YEAH! I ordered the âELITEâ package. The customer service representative set everything up (and even said that she would provide me with an AT&T Visa Gift Card for all of my trouble.) She tried to expedite the installation, but couldnât. I had an appointment for a tech to come out on August 9th. By mid afternoon on August 9th, I was having that familiar feelingâ¦no tech had calledâ¦might there be a problem? I called AT&T. THE SERVICE WAS CANCELLED! Why, I asked? AT&T could not provide me with the âELITEâ packageâ¦might I like the âPROâ package? I would need to place another new order and wait another 3 days to have it installed. An order was placed.
Again, this order was cancelled. I called AT&T. I was told that the orders were written up incorrectly and that I would have to call back and have a new order written. When I called back, I was to tell the representative that I needed to have them place my order NOT with the central office but with the remote terminal. I did this! The tech is set to come out on August 13, 2010.
Because I have been stuck at home for days, waiting for the AT&T tech, I have done some investigating and formed some opinions.
First, although I do have an order to have a tech visit my home to provide me with DSL, I believe that the service will, again, not be usable and dependable. The DSL that is running on my fax line is supposed to be running at a rate of 3.0 to 6.1 Mbps but is instead running at a rate of 0.20 Mpbs. Will it be any different when the DSL is installed on my home phone line? No one at AT&T can answer this question for me. I feel that I now have enough knowledge to answer the questionâ¦NO! Clearly, this is not acceptable.
Secondly, my family and my business have suffered greatly because I have not had usable and dependable DSL service for over a month, even though I have been promised by EVERY ATT&T customer service representative that AT&T âknows that I have a choice in the product that I purchase and that they will solve my problem and provide me with excellent service.â That is, of course, unless they wonât.
Thirdly, AT&T employs very nice, polite people to man their phones. Unfortunately, they only âtake ordersââ¦once the âorder leaves their deskâ they have âno control over what happens to it or if it actually gets processedâ and they are âvery sorry for my troublesâ⦠and that I should be aware that âorders can be cancelled at any timeâ ⦠they are also, always willing to transfer me to someone who can better help me (but, they never stay on the line, leaving me to explain my story to 5 different people) and I have yet to really be helpedâ¦I still have no usable DSL service.
Lastly, thank you AT&T for the invaluable knowledge that I have gained into my computer, DSL service and the internet. I have used my newfound skills to come to the conclusion that I need to go elsewhere and seek out new internet service as AT&T refuses to provide my family and business this service.

Inefficient and infuriating!
Posted by
I had been having connectivity issues with Comcast and decided to give AT&T a shot. What a mistake.
I ordered service and eagerly awaited a new revolution of service and Internet. When I got the DSL modem, I hooked it up and did all that was instructed but it didn't work. The sticker said that it sometimes took 24 hours for the service to work so I waited. One day later - nothing.
After spending about 30 minutes on hold before getting a tech rep, we walked through everything I had already done and at the end, was informed to wait for 24 hours and everything "should work". Again, one day later - nothing.
I called again and after waiting 45 minutes on hold, I hung up because seriously - I had better things to do. At this point, I'm so thankful that I never cancelled Comcast even though the service was spotty. The following free evening I had, I called against and waited another 30 minutes on hold. Again the tech tried to walk me through everything that had already been done but when I said that it had already been done, he got really snotty with me. His next suggestion was a "tech visit" but it had a fee. At this point, I was pretty fed up and just hung up.
I packed the modem up, shipped it back and then called customer support to cancel. Again, it was about 30 minutes on hold before getting through but the guy who helped me cancel was actually the nicest representative I'd encountered. He set it up so that I shouldn't ever get billed and said it might take a couple billing cycles to reflect the credits but I was free and clear. Little did I know that wasn't the truth.
When I received the bills, I ignored them but checked to see if any credits were made. Finally about six weeks after shipping the modem back, the credit was made for the modem but the service was never credited. Today, I received a "final notice before collection" bill and so I called.
What a nightmare!!
After 20 minutes on hold, I got to billing. After explaining the situation, the billing representative said she couldn't do anything about it and needed to transfer me to tech support. After 10 more minutes on hold, the tech representative looked over everything and said she couldn't do anything, only billing could and transferred me. Only this time I was transferred to the cancellation department (on hold for about 10 more minutes) - which obviously couldn't do anything because I had already cancelled my service. Then after another 20 minutes on hold, I was given to accounts receivable to which I was expected to pay the bill. Seriously!?!!?
At this point, I lost it. I had tried to be civil and explain it but I totally lost my temper. And I don't have a temper. I guess it helped though because I was given to "management" and after ten more minutes, finally got to speak to someone. I told her everything and then finally, she transferred me to a billing representative who simply credited my account and made my balance zero.
While I feel bad about giving the AR representative an earful about being the most inept and inefficient customer service in the world, I hate to say that it was true. I spent a total of one hour and 32 minutes on the phone, the majority of which was spent being on hold and in departments that couldn't help. Not only does that make people NOT want to use AT&T products but what a wasteful way to run a business? Maybe this is why the hold time is so long!
Regardless, I'll never use an AT&T product, even if it's free. I wanted an iPhone but screw that - I'll stick with my Blackberry. If ever I gave any advice to listen to - do yourself a favor and stay far far far away from AT&T. I'm sure if everything works fine you'll be okay but God forbid if anything works badly.

U-Verse and DSL Service
Posted by
SOUTH CAROLINA -- I recently moved (less than one mile) from my former address. Before moving, I had AT&T home phone with DSL service. I called to transfer my services - the representative told me that I am now eligible for U-verse. Okay, great! They scheduled my install date (2 weeks later). The technician comes out and tells me that I live "too far" from the main box to connect to U-Verse. He said an engineer would come out to take a look and a new tech would be out in another 2 weeks!
Finally... 2 weeks later the Tech arrived to install my DSL service... or so I thought! He tells me, I'm sorry but you are not eligible for U-Verse. I tell him, yes I realize that and all I want is DSL. He said, well I am from the U-Verse team and apparently they did not transfer over the ticket. He gave me a number to call and set up a transfer of my DSL service.
So I call only to find out there are no more open lines/ports and I can't get DSL service! AT&T had already shut off my previous DSL service from my old address so I wouldn't keep getting charged and because they said I am eligible for U-Verse. The engineer and tech says I am not eligible for U-Verse because I live to far from the main box, but when I call AT&T Customer Care, that's all I'm eligible for.
So now I am stuck in between with no internet service and AT&T won't do anything about it except say I'm sorry, I wish I could give you DSL but I can't. When I ask why they still show me as being eligible for U-Verse even though I live too far away, she says, I'm sorry, that sometimes happens to show that your eligible when in fact you live further away for services.
So basically new customers to the area, are out of luck unless you live within a certain mile radius. Had I known this from the beginning, I would have never agreed for them to shut off my DSL services from the old address, now I'm out of luck and AT&T doesn't seem to care. I have been bounced around from call to call and taken off early from work to have two tech's come out and basically say I'm sorry, I can't help you!
When I call and ask for a Supervisor, I get the same standard response "They are not available at the moment" or they put me on hold for 30 minutes! I expected more from AT&T, but apparently I was wrong! I have 3 wireless phones with AT&T, and I think it's time to look into other providers!

I suggest filing a complaint with the FCC and your local public utilities commission.
cmthru on 11/11/2013:
What they should have done was run a line test from the central office to your address. DSL has a distance limit. The distance is measured not by actual distance but by the actual line itself. If I remember correctly, DSL has a limit of 14,000ft from the C.O. The farther you are along the line the slower the speed gets.
Find out who is the actual phone provider and ask them to install DSL. AT and T is probably leasing lines from them.
Timothy wright on 11/12/2013:
I certainly feel your pain. I live in Lake Park, Ga. The exact same thing happened to me and I have fought this battle with AT and T for over a year and have lost. But the other providers are just as bad and lie to you making you think u can get service, then change at the last minute.

Impossible to Locate Online Bill Payment, Forcing Consumers to Pay Via 800 Number & Pay $5 Service Fee
Posted by
THE PLOT: From what I can tell, AT&T has a little scam going where they make it impossible to pay your DSL bill online, forcing customers to pay via 800 number where they're forced to pay $5 for "the pleasure" of paying with a live CSR.
I've searched EVERYWHERE on the AT&T DSL "Account Management" Website, and while I have an account management page where I can "manage my DSL accountm," I cannot for the life of me figure out where to pay my bill online. I have searched EVERYWHERE. I'm fairly tech savvy, I'm the king of google searching, and in instances where it appeared that I had located a web page where I "could potentially" pay online, the account login process would be riddled with errors that were impossible to correct without calling an 800 customer service number.
So I called the 800 number to inquire about paying my bill.
The following actually occurred today, but it's also typical of what occurs whenever I call AT&T:
> I get the first CSR. I ask to pay half of my bill today and then half at a later time (I'm in college, stretching my financial aid).
> The first customer service person read me this overly broad, useless script and then tells me "that she'd have to transfer me to another agent."
> I get transferred to another CSR who tells me I can pay $50 today, and then $22 over the next two payments (I owed something in the $90 range). BUT THEN CSR #2 tells me "that she has to transfer me to yet another extension."
> I get transferred to CSR #3 who starts to read me YET ANOTHER useless script... and then she tells me "that I have to pay $69 today or risk having my service interrupted..."
> Feeling hustled, I just give up and pay the full amount. $69 vs. $96. It's not worth the hassle to spread out the payments.
> AND THEN OF ALL THINGS, I ask about whether or not I'm being charged a fee for paying over the phone, AND SURE ENOUGH... I'm being charged FIVE DOLLARS for the hassle of paying with a live CSR. FIVE DOLLARS for listening to insulting, useless scripts... FIVE DOLLARS for being transferred THREE TIMES. FIVE DOLLARS for being hustled like I'm in a pawn shop.
MIND YOU, I tried like crazy to pay online with no luck.
BOTTOM LINE: From what I can tell, AT&T has a little scam going where they make it impossible OR VERY DIFFICULT to pay your bill online, forcing customers to pay via 800 number where they're forced to pay $5 for "the pleasure" of paying with a live CSR.
Would AT&T have told me of the $5 fee had I not specifically asked about it ??? Maybe someone else can fill us in on whether or not you have to actually ask or risk finding out when you check your bill at a later time.

You can always mail them your payment.

I don't have AT&T so I can't go into an account but their website clearly shows a link to "View/Pay Bill" and that was a quote. I'm sure it can be done. Here is the link that lead me to that page.
trmn8r on 10/07/2010:
There must be a way of paying online. The complaint started out focused on the inability to locate how to do it. Usually it is mentioned in a mailer. Bill payment can be a third party site, which may explain why you couldn't see it from your AT&T account. Since it is third party, a Google search won't help. Did you ask anyone on the phone what site to use?
It almost always costs money to pay over the phone. Spreading out payments sounds like a way of incurring late charges and/or interest.
leet60 on 10/07/2010:
It is possible to pay online. It may be that the OP accessed the online account during a time there was a problem with the website.
As for the $5.00 fee, this is fairly standard for companies for payments over the phone, and some even charge for paying online.
steve101 on 10/08/2010:
There is no charge if you pay by phone with a credit or debit card.
Go to the home att website and you will find the link to pay online.
clutzycook on 10/08/2010:
$5 is cheap compared to what some companies charge for their "convenience fees." One of my last car loans used to only charge $5 and at the time it was worth it for me to pay it (just moved to the area and hadn't set up my new address yet). Fast forward about 10 months and I needed to pay by phone again (to avoid late fees). This time, the fee was $12! I had to swallow it, but that was the last time I resorted to paying by phone.
cofrazier on 11/05/2010:
to the people that "don't have att, but it's pretty obvious" - please don't post things like that, it isn't helpful at all. there are about 19 different places to "log in" and none of them work to pay your bill. nope, not even the view/pay bill link. not even the "pay bill" link included with a bill reminder email.
this took me more than one day to figure out, so I'll let you know how I pay my online bill - from the problems I had it may be totally different for you.
you have to make an account on AT&T account manager, https://www06.sbc.com/myaccount/Controller?pf=frameworkEntry&e=feSignUp that's my link, if it doesn't work for you, just google it. request one and of course it comes IN THE MAIL. nope, not email, us mail. really?
I don't exactly remember the registration process, but I don't remember having problems, however if you've done this part you can still get hung up.
the login IS NOT your email address - it's a completely different username without @att.net. I have no idea how to find it, but thankfully mine was saved in the autofill parts of my browser. use that to login and it's completely painless once you see how much you owe. IF YOU ENTER THE WRONG LOGIN - IT WILL RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING VALID, BUT IT WON'T ACTUALLY LOG YOU IN. however, the most insanely frustrating part is it will save that login as a cookie and it's impossible to return to the original login page. you have to clear your cookies and make sure NEVER INPUT YOUR PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS AS THE MEMBER NAME/USER NAME when you get back to that original login page (unless your primary email is your username? I'm sure I would have made mine the same, but I don't remember if you actually can. even clearing my cookies didn't work, and I had to return to the registration page, then click on "I already have an account" to return to the original login page
it's really embarrassing for a company to make it this hard to pay your bill.

Incorrect Disconnect Notice
Posted by
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- Every year around the end of July I get to waste hours of my time dealing with AT&T trying to figure out what this stupid company is going to disconnect without justification.
Last year I spent over 10 hours of my time trying to explain to them that my billing is automatically paid from my business account for all my services, yet they were going to disconnect me for an upaid bill for service that no longer existed for over 1 year at an old address. Finally, they tried to tell me it was my fault for moving, transferring my service to my new address, continuing the service, BUT NEVER CANCELLING OR TERMINATING THE SERVICE. HOW DOES ONE TRANSFER SERVICE TO A NEW ADDRESS AND CANCEL THE SERVICE COMPLETELY?
Then they sent me an $80 "final bill". More wasted time from multiple calls explaining their mistake, disconnections, recalls, and transfers to wrong departments to get that straightened out so they realize finally that I do not owe them any money for the old address.
Today's stupid waste of time was calling to find out why my DSL service MONTHLY STATEMENT shows "final bill" when I haven't cancelled any service. 3 people and multiple transfers later, "disregard that statement, a computer sent out a lot of them by mistake"

They Just Don't Want to Sell DSL Service to One of Their Customers
Posted by
This could be the longest it has ever take to get DSL service. I have been trying to get the service on my phone for for three weeks. They said my phone was disconnected and I was talking to them on that line. The sales person said I needed to have a separate line for DSL. How stupid is that. I kept saying I want the service on the line I have now. They still set a service representative to install the new line. I told him to leave the property. I called again they will find out the problem. During all this one of the service reps in the field is trying to get it straight, because I was HER referral. I hope some day to get DSL or I will go with cable folks. Too much red tape to get DSL. I hope that when I cancel it will not be this much trouble.

You ordered off your property the only person who could check on things and help you make this go more smoothly? Really?
You could have asked him to check on things to sure that everything is set up the way it is supposed to be. (And while doing that possibly found the problem and fixed it.)
et phone home on 05/16/2012:
You can call out on a disconnected phone in some states. Some states legally mandate "soft tone" ability on landlines to call 911... or the phone company.
Since AT and T is a phone company. Um yep. you can call them on a disconnected line if you have soft-tone laws in the state.
as for kicking him off. that's kind of on you at this point.

AT&T Billing Scam and Terrible Customer Service
Posted by
I signed up for AT&T DSL internet service, at a price of $30/month with a $36 connection fee. A friendly tech showed up, said he didn't need anything from me, and that he didn't even need to come into the house. The internet was spotty and slow, download speeds are terrible, but it does work/.
When my first bill came, it was for $143/.96, more than twice the amount agreed upon for the month:. There was a huge charge for deregulated wiring, which the tech never mentioned; there was another charge for a BYOM kit, which is not explained at all?. I believe it to be for a packet they sent me in the mail with an extra cable, which I never asked for, was informed about, needed, or used".
I have since spent nearly 4 hours on the phone attempting to get in touch with someone helpful|. ("please note, we are experiencing unusually high call volumes, so you may have a long wait time"." - if I hear it every time I call, it isn't unusual anymore. It's a sign that your customer service is terrible and you need to fix it) The policy among AT&T reps seems to be "I don't like this person, his problem is complicated or he is upset; I'll transfer him or hang up on him without notice." I'm currently still on the phone, on hold as I write this. Might as well use the time to post complaints on he internet and warn other consumers to stay away from AT&T.

AT&T Internet Charge 'Error' On Your Current Statement
Posted by
I got a postcard today, announcing that I am eligible for a payment from the Settlement. AT&T's records showed the speed of the DSL service was limited to a rate below the maximum rate of the plan.
Settlement comes out to $2.90 per month of my service. OK...I filed my claim for a check to be sent to me when it all gets settled and done...I had the option to have it credited to my bill, but I want the check.
Anyway...here is the warning for those who have AT&T DSL Service....
I got that postcard in the mail today and I also got my Phone/Internet bill. I noticed my Internet service increased by $3.00 from last month's billing.
I called to find out why, the CSR said, "Oh, we had several customers call us about that ERROR, I will have it credited from your bill"...
Hmmmm...they have a proposed settlement for $2.90 a month and at the same time, my bill increases at $3.00? Could that POSSIBLY be the way they plan to make up the money they are losing in their settlement? How many people won't even notice the extra $3.00 increase? And for those who will notice, they will just say it was a error and deduct it?

They keep creeping up the Internet fees on me. When I started, it was $24.99 a month for the DSL service, they raised it and I complained, so they dropped it back again, now it's up to $30.00, so when I seen it at $33.00, I said no way! I don't even think it's worth more than the $25.00 a month and if I can find a better DSL cheaper, I'd get it...Only thing that I'm concerned about is losing my 5,000 + Emails.

I have Verizon DSL and they have increased the fee last month. 5 years ago, when I first got Verizon DSL it was $20. And over the 5-year span, the fee is now up to $33.99. If push comes to shove when the fee is unreasonable, I will quit Verizon DSL and use my Pre-paid wireless internet with VirginMobile which only $20/month.
