@Home



The closing down of the @HOME network does not affect former mediaone subscribers. Some of 
the cable companies that AT&TBB acquired were part of the @HOME network. 

The problem is that some @HOME customers will be losing their connections, and others will be 
required to change their email addresses. 
An example is those who have Charter Communications. They are all changing from 
<user>@Home.com to <user>@charter.net.

Some @HOME users will experience no changes. 

Also, mediaone users <user>@mediaone.net are currently also <user>@attbroadband.com
