| Re: Availability »San Diego U-Verse Launch
That's the leaked un-official launch list. However, even if your city is on there (like my city, Ft. Worth) the odds are you CAN NOT get it. The rollout is very slow and extremely selective. Don't even bother asking anyone at AT&T when your residence can get it. They don't know.
My neighborhood is 2 blocks south of downtown Ft. Worth and bordered by 2 neighborhoods that CAN get UVerse. AT&T cannot tell me when I will be able to get it. | |

| Re: Availability Mobbo - I have it, and their service is far from top tier of service I have ever gotten.
I had DSL & Dish, and I was content with the price and the product.
Now I have their Uverse Data & Video and the data is slow, the set top box is shoddy. I can't VPN in to my work, my data connection keeps dropping, and their RG can be accessed by all of their techs, which can be nice for monitoring.
However, they have disconnected my service in error 4 times. When I called in to get it corrected, I was simply set up for a new install, 2-3 weeks out.
All in all, I am moving in a month, and while I didn't like time warner before, I think that I will pick up their data service, and go back to dish for video. | |

| Re: Availability I see. That level of service is about par-for-the-course for Charter, too. Charter is the definition of crappy service, but it's the ONLY thing we have here. I want UVerse just to available where I live and, therefore, create some competition. Charter has demonstrated dozens of times (not kidding) how much they don't care about programming and quality of service that they just flat out disregard ALL complaints from my area (Ft. Worth franchise). They know I have only 2 options: Charter or nothing. Having another competitor would be a great benefit at least in our area. | |

Euless, TX | Re: Availability Does seem to be sad that tends to be the case with most companies anymore. They don't care about the programming, or the consumer for that matter.. | |

Milwaukee, WI | Don't bet on AT&T coming to your area. Unless there are profitable numbers worth coming for, they'll just skip you over. | |

| Re: Availability Yup. I'm sure it will be 5+ years before our area develops more and becomes profitable enough for a new company to compete here. The area is bad at the moment but many developers are buying these old homes and buildings and turning them into lofts. Plus, Ft. Worth is a launch city for Sprint's WiMax deployent later this year. It might be worth a shot since I don't game anymore. | |

| Go VRAD Hunting, I have a thread in the Midwest forums about Oak Lawn Getting a few. There are also pictures of what to look for. I know of two I haven't posted about. One in Alsip IL and one in Plainfeild IL.
If you can find the boxes or markings relatively close there is a good chance that you'll be serviced. | |
