Um

That HAS to be a typo of 3-4 and 2-3, no way a customer will wait out 3-4 years to get this stuff.

At&t would be none too pleased about that.

It's At&t.

You won't get the reward anyway.

Don't forget the caps!

3-4 weeks, 34 weeks, 2-3 weeks, 23 weeks. Who cares! The real fine print is that you can't really use your tech device much because U-verse will cap your broadband connection. Bwuhahahaha...

Re: It's At&t.

I don't know about that. I probably got around $200 in at&t rewards gift cards for upgrading my internet speed over and over and over again when I had uverse.

·AT&T U-Verse

AT&T Lies...

Recently, I had an AT&T salesperson come to the door and try to sell me U-Verse. She tried to tell me that because Cablevision uses a shared line, I'm probably not getting the speed that they promise. I told her that I pay for 30Mbps and my speed tests usually show 34Mbps. I also told her that Cablevision has no usage limits whereas U-Verse users have a limit of 250GB a month. She told me that AT&T no longer has a such a limit. Funny, it's still on their web site.

A couple days later, I got a call from someone else trying to sell me U-Verse. He tried to make the same point about the speed. He was really gung-ho about trying to sell me 24Mbps service, with guaranteed speed! Then I brought up the caps and he claimed that that was only for their older system and that their new fiber system didn't have any limits. I told him that the caps still applied and he went to ask his supervisor. A few minutes later he came back on and said that I was right. He said he was looking at the site as we were talking. Then he said he wasn't sure what happened when you go over the limit, and I pointed out the section right below that spelled out the $10 fee for each additional 50GB.

His entire tone changed after that and he said he couldn't offer me anything better as far as internet service, than what I already have. He did make one last half-hearted attempt to sell me a triple-play package though.

To be clear, I don't think either of them were intentionally lying, I blame AT&T for not fully informing their salespeople of all of U-Verse's limitations.

·Comcast

Too much marketing, too little tech

They have been sending my postcards about their 3mbps DSL like every other week. It's ridiculous. They need to stop advertising and upgrade their freaking network to GPON. I'll listen when they can do more than the 50/10 I'm getting from Comcast. I'm not a Slowsky. I'm downloading at well over 3MBps, no way in hell I want 3mbps.

Xbox 360

Probably trying to clean house of unwanted inventory as there is rumors of a new Xbox coming out.

I made the mistake of buying the original Xbox not knowing it was nearing end of sale in 2005.
