Comments on: AT&T Elite Speed with Wireless Network http://www.vistaclues.com/979/ Windows Vista and Windows 7 Help Sun, 03 Apr 2011 23:48:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Tony http://www.vistaclues.com/979/#comment-94034 Tony Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:19:04 +0000 http://www.vistaclues.com/?p=979#comment-94034 Hi again, Jerry, and thanks for following up. I have a hard time blaming AT&T in this situation. There's basically nothing your ISP could do that would cause your computer to blue screen. Well, I suppose it's technically possible--they might have updated your network driver to something faulty--but that would have been difficult. Most likely, your Dell XP computer had some flakey piece of hardware or driver software, and AT&T's involvement was coincidental. I don't work for AT&T, really! I have two ISPs now: AT&T DSL and a Metrocast cable modem. Don't take that as an endorsement; those are the only options I have in my area. The DSL is slow and Metrocast gives me far less bandwidth than I'm paying for. If you have more options than I do, check out http://dslreports.com for reviews. You need reviews from people in your area anyway, because even within a big ISP, different regions are managed completely differently. Good luck! Hi again, Jerry, and thanks for following up.

We had an Dell XP which we never had to fix. They came out twice and then our computer did not want to work at all . We had that blue screen and we had to buy a new system, Windows 7. We refuse to compensate us at all and won't return our calls. What do you recommend and what system do you use and who is your server? Our brother in law recommended we switch from wireless to wired to get a faster speed. Was that the wrong choice? Thanks Tony!
