I spoke with someone in charge of the U-Verse deployment in Lake County, IN and he told me that initially downstream will be 6Mbps, but once network performance has been evaluated and all the kinks have been worked out they will begin ramping up to ~20Mbps. Also, if you are in the Lake County, IN/Chicagoland area, apparently the current goal is to have everything switched on either by or sometime during April of 2008.
