You have to realize really how far the Residential Tech Support (is your
computer on?) is from Network Operations in terms of communications.
Most NO would ever probably tell Tech Support is "Just tell the customer
a router is down or a fiber cut or something."

Call AT&T Broadband's tier one support for help ("er... you need to
check 
the web site, have you pushed the on button on your computer, er...
sir?")?

You're kidding, right? After escalating to their tier three, they still 
couldn't handle a simple call to fix the DNS on the netblock I was on. I

was stupid enough to think they could. Never again.

Best Regards,
