ATTGLOBAL.NET has been 'split' up into different regions and when you're within that region, you are not charged 'roaming' fees. US-based ATT accounts have free reign in Canada, Mexico and South America, Europe-based accounts have free roaming in Europe and South Africa. Asian-based accounts have access to Asia and South-West Pacific (Australia & NZ) access. I have 3 seperate ATT Global net accounts to serve my needs. I also use AOL Global Net as a backup in places where ATT does not have any service (like believe it or not, Bali - Indonesia) and AOL does and just connect quickly to send/receive emails.

IBM was good, and yes I have to comment that since ATT took over, some areas have gotten worse in terms of connection. Like in Singapore, ATT is handled by their local ISP called Cyberway. Don't bother calling them on a Sunday for service - they're closed..and you're SOL!

In Thailand, you must get a local ISP as there are no international service nodes - not ATT , nor AOL.

Happy connecting!
