| Yawn... they also have to get their pricing down.
Currently:
DirecTv (equivalent to U300) on 3 tuners: $63 after taxes/fees
DSL Pro: $26.88 after taxes/fees
POTS Unlimited: $57 after taxes/fees
Total: $146.88 INCLUDING ALL TAXES/FEES
U300 with 'Pro': $109
POTS Unlimited: $57
Total: $166 + TAXES/FEES on U300/Internet
With VoIP:
U300 with 'Pro': $109
VoIP: $40
Total: $149 + TAXES/FEES!
TW:
1st year: with 3 sets and 'choice' package (attempting similar packaging to what I currently have!)
$116.35 + taxes/fees add ~$25/month (according to the pricing scheme) after 12 months, and comes with 6/512kbps.
So far, TW is the best deal for me... but no real need to switch. OTA HD actually works from Santa Clarita as well.

| I've had sales reps try to poke how its 'better' priced than Cable, unfortunately, its pricing is the same (or worse) than cable..
Just because you start off with 3 tuners and show time/HBO, it on U300, it doesn't mean that its pricing is 'better'.
There's less choices with Uverse, and more forced bundling to get you to the same price, or higher.

| I'd take Uverse Internet only ($40 for 6Mbps/1Mbps) and Skype or Call Vantage for $25 w/o TV.
TW is offering a similar deal for me... 6Mbps/512kbps Internet and VoIP for $69. Its actually not a bad deal for me. I like the pricing I have on DirecTv, and I have few complaints (they're slowly increasing the price as well).

said by morbo  :pricing is the only real thing AT&T can compete on right now. and as you just showed, it's not even there... AT&T isn't close to my hood yet. But I have this:
(because I was a previous WOW customer)
Comcast:
Digi cable w/HBO,Encore and upper tear digi channels w/HD
Dual HD tuner DVR
6/1mbps HSI (last few test has it over 20 down, 2 up tks to speed boost)
Unlimited telephone (local/LD/Canada)
72.00 1st year
99.00 2nd year (last CSR I spoke with said that price will be offered to me after the 2nd year to keep me onboard.. we'll see)
Guess for the price (and service has been been great), I'm a happy camper.  |
