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 On 29 Nov 2001 at 11:04, Peter R. Wood wrote: > So, I'm confused about this closing down of the @Home network.
