My internet was running slow, contacted Att&t the person said I could update my internet from 18 to 24 for 10 bucks. Sure why not. Internet was still running slow, they said it would take effect tonight.
My broadband 2 light came on. Called to speak to a tech, troubleshooting light still red. But my internet is working fine? THey said a tech can come out...one is coming out. Should be light be green or red?I don't want to pay 100 bucks lol.

Any time I try to load up certain websites (i.e. g2a.com) it brings this message up and won't let me proceed. It also happens when I try playing certain games (i.e. Player Unknown's Battlegrounds). I've already logged in and there is nothing wrong with the account. The balance due says $0.00

After switching to AT&T, I tried to play my favorite online game but cannot access its site (www.polchina.com.cn). It should not be the bandwidth problem because I can even play it smoothly using free WiFi at airport (well-known for slow connection speed).
I also tried to switch my laptop's WiFi to iPhone hotspot instead of U-Verse and it worked! It looks strange to me because my iPhone uses AT&T's wireless data plan.
