2 edits | March 3rd for U'verse That is the day that "Hopefully" my nightmare with Comcast will be over. For over 4 years I've waited for the day that I can have DSL because I was 2,000 feet too far north. But then again another 4 blocks north from my house was another city in which DSL was available. I was caught in between coverages in a black hole.
Good reasons for U,verse:
#1. I only have 1 HDTV in my house so only 1 HD signal is ok with me. With the cheapest package I get 50 HD channels. Currently with Comcast I have the cheapest TV package, just connect the coaxial cable into the back of my TV. I have about 8 to 12 cable channels other than local air, and all analog. I get a free upgrade to Silver tier with a cable TV subscription. I already have Direct TV and rarely watch the channels from Comcast.
#2. VDSL isnt shared amongst the neighbors and 6mbps is just fine. I won't be affected by the illegal uncapped modems that my neighbors have. While my neighbors are online consuming bandwidth my download rate is under 2mbps. I'm an online gamer and VDSL is more steady. My VOIP phone with Vonage will be cleared with better quality. Perhaps I will get a discount if I sign up for AT&T VOIP if it's available.
#3. I was told they will reuse the cable that is going to my house. For over 7 months I've been having latency issues and had my whole line redone. I have 2 drops to my house. 1 is a designated line for my internet and the other is the pre-existing line. |
