| Just dumped the UVerse TV service myself See my profile review of UVerse for the gory details, but suffice to say that the UVerse DVR was what drove me back to my prior setup: DirecTV Tivo. I don't have an HDTV and only use one SD TV so I couldn't test some of the more bandwidth intensive TV features but that DVR software was so horrid that I just couldn't stand it. My coworkers tell me I'm just too spoiled for Tivo - probably true.
I actually recorded a small session of my main complaints along with the same situations on the Tivo for comparison that I'll try to post when I get the time to edit it.
On the internet side, the 3/1 DSL is rock solid (unlike the Earthlink crap I came from) and AT&T is letting me keep the UVerse VDSL connection rather than making switch back to standard ADSL so I feel like I've got the best of both worlds. (Although I wish they'd sell me a package that could tap into the 28/2 speed that the modem is getting!)
I also have give them kudos for customer service (something EarthLink also is sorely lacking) as they had no silly contracts and didn't haggle with me when I cancelled the TV service. In fact, the whole experiment of do UVerse cost me about $0 after the free 1st month and $100 rebate check. |
