6.1 Mbps to 10.0 Mbps
So, you sign for 10mbps and only get 6.2 that's good enough?

DSL seems so slow and old now. VDSL wouldn't have been bad if we could get a 25/5 tier but they have to stuff lousy tv service down our throats.
U-verse is bloody expensive to, I'd rather get satellite TV which has some pretty cheap deals. |

According to the terms coming soon, yes. Unfortunately. I guess those lawyers got tired of working to get paid. |

Regardless of whether the equipment used to access your Service (modem, gateway, etc.) is owned by you or AT&T, AT&T reserves the right to manage such equipment for the duration of your Service, and retains exclusive rights to data generated by the equipment. Neither you nor a third party may change, interfere with, or block access to equipment data or settings.
This is kinda funny to manage My equipment they would have to activly out right hack it.
Oh and this
Tampering with the U-verse Equipment, or attempting to connect the equipment to other hardware, will be treated as damage due to your intentional acts or negligence. You agree that you will use the equipment only for its intended residential use, and not for any other purpose (such as on another AT&T network, or on another provider’s (non-AT&T) network).
Does this include other routers ???
(b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session; and (c) periodically change your password. There is a risk that other users may attempt to access your computer through the Internet or connected networks. You acknowledge this risk as inherent to the shared nature of the Service and you agree to take full responsibility for taking adequate security precautions and safeguarding your data from loss
How can one keep there network secure with the above right to manage your netowork even if you own your own hardware.

|  More high tech Bologni from the ISP's
 Imagine going to the gas station and the proprietor tells you a Gallon of Gas can be anywhere from 64 Ounces to 128 Ounces. The proprietor of the gas station would go to jail and the station would be closed.
I had a friend, that was paying for a 3Mbps DSL Connection, when I checked, was getting a download speed of 500Kbps to 600Kbps through BellSouth DSL. After BellSouth Technicians changed out a poor quality cable pair, replaced the modem and added a dedicated splitter. Download speed increased to about 750Kbps. BellSouth's excuse was that my friend was too many cable feet from the Central Office. The only other choice my friend was given was that for about $20.00 per month, he would get a 256Kbps download speed. It is time that the ISP's provide more price levels so that customers do not wind up paying for a 3Mbps connection and only getting a download speed of 750Kbps. The telephone company management is not smart enough to realize that is the reason that so many customers are moving from DSL to Cable. |

and more HD as well. U-verse does not have comcast sports net Chicago HD and comcast sports net Chicago + HD
Also you have the 2 HD max per house on U-verse. |

Re: Ball parkin it, eh?
I have to agree with AT&T this one. Due to the nature of DSL, they must advertise speed ranges. If you are in the range, they have delivered fairly.
The alternative is require you to take a lower package. I'd hate to be forced to get 3.1MB-6MB because my 9MB wasn't 10MB. |

Yup - I used to have that for ADSL contract.
1500-3000kbps down and 384-512kbps up.
That was the 'sync' rate though, and does not guarantee much.

Let's say with U-verse, you get 6 Mbps connection. Does the UVerse IPTV service impact that connection? (If you're watching the IPTV service, do you have less remaining bandwidth available?) |

Re: Ball parkin it, eh?
Think of it this way...
You are GUARANTEED 6.1Mbps. Now if your constantly getting slower than that you have a right to call in and have them fix it. If they say its 'up to', call their B.S. cuz they say at least 6.1Mbps.  |

Re: More high tech Bologni from the ISP's
That's just not a fair comparison. A better comparison would be if the gas station ran a hose to your house and charged you based on the number of gallons per minute pumped.
Pump speed, eleveation change, hose type, diameter, curves would all effect how many gallons per minute pumped.
I think you get the rest, I'm too tired to type it. |

(If you're watching the IPTV service, do you have less remaining bandwidth available?) The bandwidth for TV and Internet are separated and reserved for each task. I'm pretty sure that the modem actually can sync as high as 100mbps but it's capped at 10mbps for internet and 25mbps for TV. |

| eh?
At least in former Bellsouthland, there already were minimum speeds for each tier. They were not, however, made public. But the BOSS article telling you how to deal with customers with slow speeds defined how low they could go before you officially acknowledge that there was a speed problem.
From there it was the usual steps. |

No, because it's on a seperate channel on the RG.

Bellsouth costumer already had this rule. and there not going to lower your speed I have 1.5mbps and i get always 2mbps sow there going to try to give you the max if not they will come out losing. Look at cable I paid for 6mps but at night i get max 1mps in my area and at day it will be 4 and 5mbps i think i got one 6mps but that was at 6am. I rather have att than comcrap. |

It says "tampering". Connecting a router isn't "tampering". I'm pretty sure that particular clause is in reference to people opening up U-verse DVRs and replacing the hard drives in them with larger capacities.

| Total speed prorate.
Why not a total speed prorate on the max sync with the tiers to just cap what max speed you want for price? Example if I want the 6M and that's what I can down load I pay full 6M price. If I have the 6M but because of line and distance I only get 4.5M down then I pay the price that's between 3.0 and 6.0? Surely their billing and computing systems could handle that. |
