AT&T's effort at next gen offerings is pretty horrible.
Even the areas that have FTTP only get 1 HD stream.
Not to mention the 6/1 speeds...
AT&T is living in 2001, and hoping it will carry them through the next decade. Foolish.

| said by MarkyD  :AT&T's effort at next gen offerings is pretty horrible. Yeah it is. I can't believe their max broadband package with U-Verse is 6mbps/1mbps. Most of the cable companies around here (not mine, mine thinks it's still 1982 when they first deployed) are offering 10mbps/1.5mbps or in some cases better. I understand it's a new service but if you're going to compete then you have to offer better services. Pretty soon DirecTV is going to be offering 100+ HD channels. Oh and don't even get me started on the areas that still can't get DSL.

What I find amusing is the 4 streams at a time !
If I want to use a dvr , and have hd , why prey tell would I want to record 4 sd streams , when I can record 2 on cable currently ? Is there any shows you would watch in sd instead of hd , that are actually shown in HD ?
I know I always prefer the hd content to sd when it's available.

Re: whoopee!
Since TimeWarner only offers 8/768 here at best on the 'extreme' package.
Eg.
Timewarner (doesn't require cable TV service)
8Mbps/768kbps = $54.95
6Mbps/384kbps = $44.95
1.5Mbps/384kbps = $34.95
DSL-Extreme (requires $10 POTS)
6Mbps/768kbps = $32.95 + $10 POTS = $42.95
3Mbps/512kbps = $22.95 + $10 POTS = $32.95
1.5Mbps/384kbps = $17.95 + $10 POTS = $27.95
768kbps/384kps = $12.95 + $10 POTS = $22.95 |
