My order went in before Labor Day and installation right after.
Went without a hitch. I got the TV U300 bundle with 12mbps down and 1.5mbps up and the tech had me up and running in about an hour. Integrated wifi is a nice touch.
Latency is around 60ms.
Online chat and phone tech support has been pretty good so far.

Have had U verse for about a month now and it seemed to work well until recently.
The system has been down now for two days. No TV No internet and my phone line is dead.
I should have stayed with the Direct TV and my DSL service now I'm without TV, Phone service and internet service. Great product if you like sitting in the dark. Single point of failure. Oh the line I keep getting is we are working on it.

My uVerse was installed on time and had no issues afterward. The DVR is great! I can record 4 shows at once and watch them from any TV in the house. I can even pause it and pick it up in the next room. By the way, the $95 price includes 3 mb DSL and a landline phone with all the calling features, voice mail, and unlimited calling anywhere in the USA.
The calling features are amazing. My favorite is "call locator," which is a beefed up version of call forwarding. If someone calls my home, it rings on my cellphone as well. You can program up to five numbers. I can also go online and control my call features, listen to voice mails, and look up incoming and outgoing calls in real time.
The iPhone app completely sucks. It does not work, plain and simple. If you try to program your DVR, it will spit out an error message saying "program already aired" even for future programs. About all it will let me do is let me erase programs already on my DVR. It also does not allow access to billing data or call features.
I was also disappointed that, in 2009, the AT&T provided wireless router/gateway does not include a print server!!
I don't know how good their tech support is because I never had to use it.
uVerse is a good value for the money. I waited a long time for AT&T to work out zoning issues with my city for placement of the equipment boxes, but it was worth it. The bottom line: highly reccomended.

Ordered Internet Only around August 06,2009 , Install date August 20, 2009. Ran poorly for 1.5 days, then down. I had AT&T reconnect my DSL after they couldn't get it back up, waiting for them to resolve problem, AT&T canceled U-verse order, then waited over a week to get them out to dig up underground junction box, finally they dug. Still no resolution to problem. AT&T Determined defective underground wire, instead of replacing wire AT&T found a descent pair (they thought), contacted upper management and got permission to use alternate pair, meet with Premise Supervisor to get gateway installed, tested speed 10Mb down / 1.5Mb up. Was sold 12MB service ???? Shows 12MB on my order on AT&T Uverse site, tech said 10MB. Internet Speeds slower than 6MB DSL. Install to gateway install and working poorly August 20, 2009 - Sept 16,2009 . And still poor service calling again today Sept 21, 2009.
One final Note and this is important to let everyone know. The AT&T Technicians that are working on my install and problem have been the BEST. I can't say enough about how they have all went the extra mile to help me out. They have worked late in terrible conditions to try to get me up and running.I really appreciate all they have done !
These are my actual speeds with a 10MB/1.5MB U-verse Click on the thumbnail below.

Went through the process of choosing, checked DSL reports and many other reviews.
AT&T uverse offered a very good package price for DSL and phone in our area (Jupiter, FL). They came out installed it, put in a nice wireless/router. With previous provider, I had a separate phone DSL modem, a separate DSL modem and a separate wireless modem.
They use one DSL/router/wireless modem, which they installed with a UPS. Nice. It's much easier to have one device. Before, if for any reason something was down, my wife didn't manage the downtime very well and couldn't always decide what to do. With this device, AT&T manages any internet or phone problem remotely - a great plus when i'm traveling. Things can happen and this means my wife calls them if it does instead of me (I hope). It's rare it would go down (not at all after 3 months). But you never know, particularly in storm country.
I had one deadspot in my house for my wireless computer where I often sit. I just called tech support Sat night at 9:30. Talked quickly to a very good tech guy - clearly US based. He logged in remotely, recommended he reconfigure the channels on the modem. Stayed with me during testing it. Problem solved - and he also pointed out a possible problem intermittently with the refrigerator kicking on (Refrig was in direct line path between me and the modem in the dead spot). Meaning - he really did some good trouble shooting and was knowledgeable.
To me, tech support is really important over time. Things can happen. I was impressed and am taking the time to post this. .

Ordering was painless, even got static IPs at a bargain price($20). 18 mbps service w/5 static IPs. 1500 feet from RT. This U-verse install seamlessly took over a previously very reliable 6mbps DSL connection. Install tech knew nothing about static IPs and couldn't verify them -- had to complete and test the static IPs by myself on the phone with tech support. Warning: 2wire gateway will uncerimoniously block your HTTP access via the static IPs if it thinks you have a virus. This was VERY difficult to troubleshoot and tier 2 support couldn't help. Problem solved by temporarily connecting PC via DHCP instead of static IP, where an explanatory message was then displayed in the web browser. Vonage service works perfectly, no missed incoming calls such as occurs with that other ISP available in my area.

When I moved I went back to at&t's DSL w/ dish for TV and I couldn't be happier.
I think that the Uverse service might be awesome in a few years, but the DVR software is buggy, the connection speed for the the data is no faster. The residential gateway required for the service had would not allow for the firewall to be disabled.
Still refusing to get u-verse again.
I get plenty of calls asking me if I would like uverse again, and I always refuse. After having 6 billing accounts, 2 of those being charged non-returned equipment. Not interested.

"Has 100 channels in lowest service"
"No Dial Up,Long Install,Long time (4weeks) to uninnstall, Local cable cheeper $35, Each TV requires a Box -No Box Local"
"Local Cable gives 82 Reg Channels,10 Hd 50 Music is $35 ATT Uverse is a rip Off,"
| |
I think U-Verse is a rip off and was very unhappy with it. It took 1 day to install it and 4 weeks to un install it and I was without my AT&T DSL for 3 weeks while they fiddled around with it. I had to dial up for three weeks to access the internet. I also understand that you need a box by each TV No Good I watch local cable ( 82 channels 10 HD channels, 50 Music channels ) with no box by each TV. I have 5 standard TV and 3 HD TV cost me a fortune for 7 extra boxes and where would I put them. Local Cable for $35 much better deal. I went back to local cable ( city owned) and AT&T DSL. Worst of all I lost AT&T Dial-Up( I repair computers as a sideline at not cost so I need dial up and it would have cost me $20 more to add Dial-up back).
