I do not have U-Verse myself, but a friend of mine's dad has it (he works for AT&T and has for a long time). I can easily say that I was impressed on how quick th channels changed compared to Time Warner's digital cable. Also, the picture quality was not that bad and I so far have positive impression of it. |

USA | What is the current bit rate and resolution? Any compression or is it pure OTA quality? Do they plan on maintaining that same level of service while being able to compete on Internet bandwidth when they offer multi HD feeds? |

The cap is around 27Mbs. HD streams are ~7Mbs and SD is ~3Mbs. Most homes sync at a max of 60+Mbs. Thus there is enough room to add 2-3 more simultaneous HD streams and up the data rate to 12+Mbs. Advanced MPEG4 compression technology should be able to squeeze HD to 6Mbs soon, so the available BW is more then enough to compete. |
