The only balls I've seen from SBC lately are the ones they use when
they go in front of the PUC (takes balls to ask for some of what they
do), and the ball of water in their commercials for their super reliable
data services.  I noticed their commercials appeared to be MIA most of
yesterday. :-)

How delightfully non-descriptive. I hope it was at least "due" to an
equipment problem.

Wouldn't it be easier if they just issued a magic 8ball instead of a
statement?

"When will my internet be up?"
"Reply hazy, try again"
