This pretty much sets the bar for bad page design (lame portal style, crammed with all sorts of irrelivant lipton-cup-of “content”, more top-level links and flashing ads than you can shake a stick at). They even have a pop-under advert. I know these are lean times for web design departmetns, but SBC surely has enough bank to do a better job (compare their TV ads to this). On the upside, the login is near the top and there is a search box, but the overall effect of the page is to make me reach as quickly as possible for the back button.
