AT&T Spam Filter Blocks Own Notice About Rate Hike

Zardon · May 22, 2002, 06:32 AM

AT&T Broadband is apparently raising their rates. This is news to me, as an AT&T Broadband customer, as they certainly haven't notified me in any way. Perhaps, that's because their own spam filter blocked the message. A spokesman joked that their own spam filter obviously works so well that it stops broadcasted messages even from them. They're planning on fixing this "problem" and resending the message.

ha.....? That was funny... but it really isn't... i guess i can safely say AOL sucks.

I use Comcast but i don't think very highly of it either. If you can afford ADSL or a partial t1 or t3 connection then you should go for that.

What does the rest of the crowd round here use?

Uuummmmmm... seeing that I'm on AT&T broadband and I use the spam filter, does anyone know if this hike is just for Seattle or other areas as well?
