 "TV and internet both work great! large upload speed is a huge plus!"
 "kinda pricey, could not order internet alone"
 "if you want fast, dedicated internet access and a good selection of television programming give U-Verse a try."

UPDATE: 01/02/2009
just downgraded my internet speeds to the elite package. will save me a good $30/month. and i barely got more than 10Mbps on downloads usually as it is.
UPDATE: 11/10/2008
ok its 7:02am and my max18 is already in effect. just did a speedtest on speedtest.net and am getting a solid 18 mbps download and the same 1.4 upload that i was getting before. so they didn't break my internet when they changed my speed profile.
UPDATE: 11/09/2008
JUST ORDERED MAX18. It should take effect sometime tomorrow. will update after it is going. Wish they would've given a bit more upload.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Hi, I have AT&T U-Verse U100 (TV) & U-Verse MAX (10Mbps/1.5Mbps internet).
I previously had AT&T dry loop DSL Elite (6Mbps/768Kbps). Just so you get an idea of what I previously was getting for internet service. The transition between Dry Loop DSL and U-Verse went off without a hitch. I had access to my Dry Loop DSL up until the tech showed up at my door and started the install. The installation took about 2 hours. I had 1 TV, no DVR, to get hooked up for the TV side. as i already knew that I was probably not going to keep the TV side. With 3 kids, I just don't have time to watch TV.
The RG (Residential Gateway/MODEM) that was installed is a 2Wire 3800HGV-B. the STB (Set Top Box) is a Cisco IPN330HD. the STB is connected via Cat5 that was run along the wall.
The RG has built in 802.11b/g wireless, a 4 port 10/100Mbps switch, and 2 RJ-11 ports (for AT&T U-Voice).
if you have any questions about the service please feel free to ask me. I find myself having some from time to time and would like to share the little bit of knowledge that I have acquired.
