It was a really good service if you had a good installer. Like ADT.
Digital Life was typical execution of a T service. It also wasn't a best in class product.
Of all the blunders, digital life is still worth bringing up for discussion? Ancient history. A Ralph de la Vega disaster and he paid the price for it.
Digital life, wow that was a garbage, overpriced service to try and sell. Hated managing to those sales goals. Even if someone wanted it, our network was too poor to install at their house most of the time.

What, What do you mean?? At&t with their "promised 18 mbs" service on a copper loop of 15K feet and could only support 384K and could not support Digital Life????
Boggles the mind that such a fine company would do such a thing.
After being a witness to Randell's and Stankey's many, many financial blunders, no catastrophes. I don't care anymore. There is no amount of effort I could exert, or 10 thousand other employees could do to change anything for the better.
I'm going to stop shoveling coal into boilers, Stankey has been warned numerous times about the Iceberg. He is the smartest man at the helm or any room, so says he.
DL and implementation was a disaster. Just like other things in life, a great idea doesn't make it truly a good idea. We gave all of our GI's cigarettes in WWII as part of their rations. Great idea huh.

It all subjective, gamers, stock traders and others would disagree with you about having a wireline and RJ45 connection Latency and capacity matters to a lot of people. WiFi is fine for general use.
WiFi has knocked a lot of work content to the curb. Got useless cable and telephone jacks all over the house.
Win Williams loved stinky tuna fish salad.
It was not a bad idea. The problem is with implementation. A product set like that takes continued commitment. ATT was not really committed.
