Technician Request

I want to install 3 ethernet jacks in my house on the same floor so that I can have wired connctions for work and gaming. When I call the numbers for ATT i wait on hold for 45min, get transferred to tech support, then get disconnected.

added jacks are not considered essential business your going to need to wait for this situation to blow over the techs are only doing emergency service calls ie first responders police, hospitals etc service calls are 2 to 3 weeks out

Internet, telephone and video connectivity are essential services, and the installation and repair of those services is work technicians can’t accomplish from their own homes. So, they go to the frontlines, and out into an uncertain world to keep us connected. They are dedicated. They show up.

These technicians are restoring connectivity at:

Homes … where parents are working and kids are being schooled remotely.

Businesses … where those who must be in the office, due to the nature of their work, have a critical need to stay connected.

Hospitals … where doctors and nurses rely on connectivity to save lives and to receive the latest updates and developments in their fight against this new virus.

Quarantine centers … where both the medical staff and the patients in their care need to stay connected to the outside world.
