| dunno, but lets do the math:
2 HD streams unccompressed: 40 Mbps
Internet: at LEAST 40-50 megs left over, assuming a 90 meg sync.
And obviously, phone is over the voice band.
So, U-verse I think has the potential to offer way more speed than cable:
Cable (assuming Comcast instantly upgrades to DOCSIS 3.0):
480 megs down.
If it is split EVEn among 100 subs, that's 4.8 megs/sub, unless comcrap decides to oversell =(.
So, I reckon U-verse is only getting warmed up.
Don't get me wrong, I definitely support verizon's FiOS, however, I'm merely pointing out the fact there is still quite a fight left in copper, unless all of a sudden Comcrap runs dedicated coax to each house, then we'd see gigabit speeds of course.
In short, trust me, AT&T and the other telcos are only getting started. The measly 6 meg speeds will soon grow into comcasts's worst nightmare, and throw in pair bonding= 200 Mbps aggregate, LOL. Also, remember, I'm saying this assuming AT&T does NOT compress HD.

Valencia, CA | I wouldn't expect AT&T Uverse to be getting a consistent sync rate better than 50Mbps across the board. +90Mbps is for those really close to the VRAD.
AT&T is pushing compressed HD  , so getting 2 -3 streams and 10Mbps should not be an issue across the board.
In the area that I live in, there's 2 VRAD's within 3 city blocks (0.87 miles) (4500'), and I'm 0.25 miles (1320') from the VRAD that serves me.
