| Get a grip I don't get all of these "the sky is falling" comments. Do you not think that ATT knows they are going to lose some customers by only allowing 6 Mbps with Uverse, do you not also think that they know that 6 Mbps isn't going to cut it long term?
Did you ever think that maybe just maybe they looked at it and realized that they will lose a lot more customers long term if they don't offer TV before higher speeds?
I'm not saying there right, but I'm sure its been discussed and thought about. You can call them all morons and whatever else, but we really wont know it if was the right decision for 5-10 years.
Losing a subscriber here and there due to higher speeds being available someplace else hasn't hurt ATT yet, and it probably wont get bad enough for several years. |

Mulberry, FL | Plain and simple.... ALL, EVERY ONE OF THEM.. From the original ATT to the RBOC's and the reconstituted ATT has been ASLEEP at the WHEEL in failing to upgrade their networks for years.
Crapble bought a vowel from Vanna and UPGRADED THEIR networks to a fiber backbone and coax(copper) to the home.
The telco's still, slept.
Only VZ has woken up from their deep slumber and started to upgrade their network to fiber.
ATT is STILL ASLEEP.
Compared to dial up or even UVerse or DSL at 6M is better than dial up or being stuck with VSAT.
I call all the telcos MORONS for failing to upgrade their networks, every last one of them. Only VZ gets at least a pat on the back for finally waking up, getting in gear. They are still far behind.
DSL at the highest speeds DSL tech allows should be available to 100% of every telco customer. In my area VZ conceded data to BH because they didn't want to upgrade their network. Now they have to catch up, and they are along way behind.
IPTV is a dead issue with me. I will NEVER use it or any thing from the telco or crapble co's. I have Dish and I will always use Dish. They provide what I want at a price I feel is far better than any thing crapble or telco's could offer and they will never. From the channels I want and Dish offers, to the price. If ATT offers up enough $$ to get Ergen to sell Dish, then I will go FTA. I dumped ATT services years ago, and want nothing to with them, and direcrap should say enough of what I think about them.
Bundles, schmundles... I don't do bundles. I call them bait and switch.... $x then 6 months or some other date, JACK IT UP....
The telcos ATT et al need to get it on the same field as the rest of the world.
The internet is a utility in 2007. The US needs a Internetification Authority like the old rural electricfication program.
We develop the internet, then sit back and let it wither away. MORONS.
