I think AT&T's networks are overloaded and that's why they are resorting to this. I've had their DSL for numerous years now and never had any problems till about a year ago. My internet runs fine during non peak hours but during peak hours it slows to a crawl. I can't even stream video and barely able to browse the web. It always happens from ~6:00pm to ~11:30pm.
Since it runs fine all other times I think I'm safe to assume it's nothing on my end (phone line, modem, router, PC) and it's their network.
I wish they spent the money in upgrading their network!
