How do I get to tech support?  The only number I can find is the ATT-2020 number, and that keeps sending me to customer service.
Kudos!

Thanks for the number.  I got connected to what seemed like the exactly same department as before, but this time they were able to call dispatch and confirm that the line had been fixed (as I suspected :smileywink: ), so a new install date is set.

My rescheduled appointment was for this afternoon.  I had confirmed it a couple of days ago on the website and everything looked fine.  I received no confirmation call, so I decided to do one last check of the website this morning to make sure everything was on for today.  Good thing, because the website said my installation had been cancelled!  (Not by me, it hadn't.)  So I call customer service.  The automated system is still showing my appointment from last Thursday, which it says "should have been completed."  When I get a CSR on the line, she discovers that my appointment for today really has disappeared.

 

She offers to schedule a new appointment (this would be the third), but says they can't get anyone here today.  So I say no thanks, and have them cancel my order.  Even the retention guy says he can't blame me based on my experience.

 

I'm staying pretty levelheaded about this... I didn't gain or lose anything except my many times on the phone with customer service.  However, I can only imagine how infuriating this must be for people who have actually taken time off from work or otherwise have something invested in this.

Kudos!

A little epilogue to my experience.  I decide to check the website appointment status to make sure everything has been cancelled as I ask.  It says there is no record of any appointment for me.  That's fine.  But less than an hour later, I get an email welcoming me to Uverse Voice (the third one I've received).  I assume it's a glitch.  Today, I get a call out of the blue from dispatch asking when I want to reschedule my appointment.  I inform him that I cancelled my order several days ago, which is a total shock to him.  AT&T apparently has never heard of the adage "When you're in a hole, stop digging." :smileyindifferent:

For a Premise tech getting a poor signal could be few things such as

 

1) the loop (wire from pole to your house) needs to be changed

2) The port at the crossbox doesn't put above the minimum required speed to provide you with enough signal. This will result in a failing SAI check.

 

This one over rules 2 though...

 

3) Quality of the aerial pair and cable guage. The signal can be strong at the crossbox, however if the aerial pr is bad then the signal will be poor at the customer's prem. This is an ongoing issue as most of the splicers and pair conditioners assume the cable pair looks good for uverse. DSL runs on even the most crappiest pair of wiring however Uverse will not. When the managers realize this most of the outside issues will be eliminated. Then the company can focus hard on inside problems as well.

Kudos!
