AT&T said it would not work but once I saw that the speed was sufficient, I've managed to do what they said would not work more than 20 months until an AT&T substation rework was done a mile away. Am a guinea pig amidst the AT&T and Vonage conflict. Vonage liked me being involved on that. <br> <br>Again many thanks on making me think a bit.
