| U-verse internet only
I would like U-verse internet service only.
I do not want U-verse TV because it does not offer the international sports channels I want (DirecTV does). If U-verse TV did offer Setanta Sports, heaps of HD channels and cricket (international sport) I would consider it.
I currently have 1.5Mbps ADSL from AT&T in Houston, TX (77006) and I would like to be able to purchase faster speeds, e.g. anything faster than 1.5Mbps, but I cannot because I am too far from the Central Office. I asked AT&T to sell me U-verse internet only but they will not do it unless I purchase U-verse TV as well.
The information from AT&T U-verse customer service is a complete contradiction to the CEO's and the wireless services boss's statements. Therefore the old mind-set definitely still exists and I am being forced to buy U-verse TV even if I only want U-verse internet.
I do not want to purchase both U-verse services and then disconnect the TV because I am very concerned that there will be disruption to my DirecTV service.
I am happy to pay more for faster internet speeds. I'm not happy to have to purchase something I do not want.
I like the service reliability of AT&T ADSL, I hope U-verse VDSL has similar reliability. I tried TimeWarner/Comcast for many years for faster speeds but the network reliability was terrible (in zip codes 77057 and 77006). |
