Please extend my condolences. The rest of the west (even in Canada)
looks down it's nose at California, and Californians do the same to
Sacramento. Basically, it's a runt city in a runt state and gets
treated as such.
Also, ATTBI hasn't existed in almost two months now, Comcast ate them.

When I was working for Excite@Home, Sacramento was served by @Home by
way of TCI. AT&T then bought out TCI. Cox, Comcast and AT&T colluded
against us and we went under shortly after it became apparent that
they were colluding against us and AT&TBI took over that market buying
the network for fractions of a cent on the dollar in bankruptcy
court. AT&T then decided they suck at cable coax services and sold
everything but cable telephone service to Comcast.
I can gaurantee you that all the headends there are two-way equipped,
and it's almost gauranteed to be Comcast serving the area. Since it's
two-way equipped, the services available will be all analog and
digital cable television services and broadband internet by Comcast,
and possibly cable telephone service by either AT&T or Comcast over
the same Comcast line. I encourage your son to get his phone service
this way if possible, Pacific Bell *really* sucks more than most phone
companies and getting it over the cable is cheaper and fairly
reliable.
