So lectroid.net seems to be back. Apparently AT&T mistakenly disconnected a few phone lines at my ISP and this included their residential DSL customers (that would be me) as well as their office phones.
What is it about losing phone connections this week?
This meant that for my internet fix, I was reduced to GPRS access via a bluetooth connection to my mobile phone. You know how people are bitching because they say that iPhones are slow because of AT&T’s slow EDGE network? Well GPRS is the predecessor to EDGE, that’s right, it’s slower. And I don’t have a flat data rate either. Blech.
Anyway, my ISP actually called all their DSL customers because with their DSL down and their phone lines disconnected folks were calling and getting, “Doo Daa Deep – We’re sorry the number you have dialed has been disconnected…” which as you can imagine freaked a lot of people out.
(I knew what was up because I hit their status pages via GPRS 
)
Anyway, we’re back.
