The worse customer service I've ever had ANYWHERE.
On Jan 12, 2014 I called AT&T to disconnect my phone service. We never use it. I had an extensive conversation with the rep that I did not, did not want my dsl disconnected. On Jan 15 my dsl was disconnected. I called the same day and was given a new account number and was told this number had to be ported to my home, because whoever handled the original order disconnected my entire account. A guy from AT&T came to my home on the Jan 16 and ported in the new number. I was told I should have service by Jan 20. No service Jan 20. I called customer service. The lady I spoke with said she would solve all my problems and called me back and said service would be restored Jan 21. When I called the dsl help number a recording told me the order was to be completed on the Jan 21. This morning I call dsl help. They try to get me reconnected. Wouldn't work. That person called me back and said there is a "line issue" and a tech would have to come back to my home. That person would be there today, no later than tomorrow. I called the customer service number again trying to get this expeditied and now I'm told the tech could not come out until Jan 26. As I have told every rep I have spoken with, if when I requested that my phone service be cut off, the rep would have told me that the acct I have had for years with AT&T would have been completely cut off and it would take days and days to get my dsl reconnected, I would have just kept the phone service. I did have one supervisor call me and left a message that my service would be restored Jan 26. I already knew that! I wanted some answers to why all this has taken so long. Of course, she leaves no call back info. These AT&T reps talk a good talk, but it's just lip service. They make NO effort to resolve an issue. I see no alternative but to seek other dsl service. I do not want to deal with these folks again.

I hear you, I have recently been trying to get a technical issue resolved with the DSL account, I have been through now 5 tech reps (phone and here on community forums) they did send a premises tech out and he confirmed the line was in good condition and that it was NOT the problem, he claimed he replaced an f card in the DSLAM as well(not sure I believe it was done)
Finally here on communitycares tech rep claimed that indeed there was ATT nework congestion on my DSLAM or Central Office, I asked them to place me on a less congested router in the CO but they flat out refused and just keep pushing U Verse (EVERY single person I spoke with pushed the sale of U Verse even though I was NOT calling sales, and the problem
IS fixable if they wanted to make a simple electronic switch, they just want to force me onto U Verse which I repeatedly told them is too expensive, I don't need the speeds, and I also mentioned that why would I pay for more expensive service when ATT won't maintain the existing service in a reasonable manner.
