Users are reporting outages in the former BellSouth territory on Monday Dec. 3, apparently caused by a Domain Name Server issue. IP services are really useful. They just aren't generally as reliable as the old public switched telephone network, though. These days, end users have to spend at least some time, and some money, creating backup systems for their crucial communications and information services.
Outage reports are posted from Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi.

I live in an Atlanta suburb and DSL was definitely down at my house for a long time last night. I tore my home network apart trying to get service. Why isn't this outage being reported by AT&T or other news media today? Seems strange to me, almost as if they are trying to pretend it didn't happen.
i live in huntersville north carolina and my dsl has been out for the last 3 days and it had gone down on a daily bais for weeks before that since the december 3 and 4th outage.... the opperators are next to nothing for help and all i hear is your estimated time of repair is "unavialabe" bellsouth internet has been the worst internet ive ever had and yet no one says a damned thing about how it keep messing up.......
