I've been a U-Verse user since 3/1/2007 and so far, so good.
Overall I am very pleased with the service thus far even after taking into consideration the few limitations the service has.
The programming packages are great and priced quite well.
SD channels are a huge improvement when compared to what I was receiving with TWC and Dish Network.
Now, HD is a different story. Even though the channel selection is pretty ample (and solid), the bandwidth limitations associated with this service results in a bit too much of compression on U-Verse's HD offering, but the big deal with it is that there's only one HD stream available, so only one HDTV set can tune to an HD channel in any household. I know many households only have one HDTV set, but that trend is changing incredibly fast now-a-days and this may become a deal breaker for many. Rumor has it that AT&T is working on raising the bandwidth early next year, but until they do, this is their Achilles' heel.
The internet part of the service is great and I have nothing to complain about (though having faster speeds wouldn't hurt  ). It's quite fast, extremely stable and well, it just works.
For the price (and the lack of contractual commitments), it can't be beaten.
