| I agree, thats a pretty lame upgrade. Notice how all of these announcements by the Death Star come on the heals of a PR nightmare week with the Iphone & AT&T.
They seem to be firmly in the spotlight. Announcements like this actually let you know how far behind they are!

| They can enhance me some U-verse instead
I am all for progress, but it would be nice if they would get in gear and re-honor the line upgrades that got killed after the merger. I am still in a solid copper zone and even my neighbor, who happens to be an AT&T Line Tech, is frustrated by the lack of deployment. |

I was informed by an AT&T rep that U-Verse will be in my area in August. So who thinks this actually happen? |

If you don't have access to it to begin with. There were new VRAD's installed in my neighborhood a year and a half ago, if not longer and it still isn't available. |

To me, it comes down to value - something tells me that you pay more than $30/month for that kind of speed. My current plan (TWC) is $90/month for TV/Phone/Internet (15/1). |

I pay $45/mo but am bundled with thier cable. Do I believe speedtest?...not fully, but in a side by side comparison using the same tool, theres no argument. At&t is getting left in the dust, and we all know it!

It was supposed to be here last fall. In fact, the VRADs were set up last spring (2008), and it's still not here. Some parts of the city have it, but my neighborhood doesn't. |

I tried U verse thinking it would be great,
1.having my phone,all options,longdistance,dsl & cell phoe withone company,easier paying the bills,
2 I SHOULD HAVE KOWN something wasn't right when the installer had to try 4 right out of the box recievers befor he found one THAT WORKED then used 1/2 roll of white cord/cable to install run cable from (like a clock12 noon to 6pm position where computer was) then had to replace my wall jack,screwing up an 8 yrs old great phone,which AT&t would pay for repair nor was I able to get repaired, even after sending it off to a company that says they can repair ANY PHONE.
said I try it for a week, by the 3rd day I call an AT&T,(not a uverse tech out) to uninstall the crap, I'll stay with my Directv service for $100.00

They've had the same old speed tiers for several years now, and I can't remember when TWC last bumped up the upload speeds. The tier just below "turbo" has been stuck on 384K for FOREVER. I know a lot of people that are dumping TWC for U-verse because of that. |
