ATT says they cant resolve the issue as they were only able to deal with issues on my modem or within a hop of it. I got told about ATT 360 and given their number 877 888 7360. I called over there but saw that it was a fee based service. Not sure if they would even be able to help us or what the fee would be. Has anyone else made any progress with any of this?

Unfortunately, the ISP doesn't allow for adjustments to their routing. They're now able to bill for more direct routing, like that 360 above, so that's what they do. We won't get out of this without spending money.

My brother did some investigating of his own into this and found that this is a problem that has been reported with several different servers, not just arelith, and not just NWN related, and nobody has been able to get anywhere with AT&T. Sounds like a great reason to switch to Comcast to me.

Perhaps its worth looking into other ISP if possible, smaller ones usually offers better services in general but AT&T is pretty big so they might have monopoly where you live, I dunno.

If I lived on my own, I never would have gotten service from ATT in the first place, but I don't so I have to go with whatever my brother has. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree. AT&T is garbage. I used to use Comcast and I was very comfortable with the service and support I got with them.
