Comcast: AT&T switch steady so far

“Comcast says “a majority” of former AT&T Broadband subscribers have switched over to its Comcast.net domain name and the change was fairly smooth–although a small number of customers experienced delays in receiving e-mail.

Subscribers affected by the delays were those who had a secure socket layer (SSL) configuration to authenticate their e-mail, the cable Internet giant said Tuesday. Comcast did not open its e-mail servers to SSL-configured e-mail users until 9 a.m.”

“The change in customers’ e-mail domains from attbi.com to Comcast.net began Monday as part of the final phase in Comcast’s $72 billion acquisition of AT&T Broadband. Comcast offered software to subscribers using Microsoft’s Outlook e-mail to automatically change settings. Customers who don’t use Outlook or the Macintosh operating system were given instructions to manually change internal settings” [News.com]
