Excite@Home Dead In 3 Days?
by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 27, 2001 2:12pm PSTYahoo is carrying this Reuters story which reports that the bankrupt Excite@Home could possibly cease providing its cable internet service in 3 days, if it can't get into new contracts with the cable companies that carry the internet service. This depends on a judge, which representatives of Excite@Home will face this Thursday. Thanks GoofyBoy
Representatives of Redwood City, California-based Excite@Home will appear in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Francisco on Thursday, where a judge will decide whether to have the service blocked if current negotiations fail, said spokeswoman Stephanie Xavier. ``It depends on the decision of the judge,'' she said. ``All I can say is we're in active negotiations with the cable companies. We're doing all that we can to maintain service.'' Xavier said many of the cable companies that carry Excite@Home have informed users that their service could cease after Nov. 30.update by Steve: d-mAn sent along this email that @Home customers in Dallas have gotten.

I'm crying like a weeee girl.
BTW my favorite FAQ is this:
What will happen to any e-mail sent to me if my service is interrupted?
We are hopeful that Excite@Home would store and hold your @Home e-mail until the service is restored. However, we cannot guarantee that this will happen as Excite@Home controls the e-mail servers.

its own network and service in the event that AT&T is unable to
purchase the Excite@Home network. If the proposal to purchase the
Excite@Home network is not approved, your service may be temporarily
interrupted and it will be necessary to move your service to a new
AT&T Broadband network.
This is a snip from an e-mail AT&T is sending out to their @home customers. No need to start looking into DSL.. Things will probably improve because of this. AT&T has deep pockets, and they can definitely make things go smoothly if they are committed.
