I got an entire friggin magazine from AT&T touting Uverse and studied it closely. Nice pricing, but couldn't find out what the upload speed was for any of their internet tiers, and the lack of a dual HD tuner in the DVR was a put off. I really don't care to watch SD content any more, and certainly can't imagine wanting to record 4 channels at once.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20416845 Thu, 01 May 2008 14:37:53 EDT Re: What is the point? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20412643 lg75 :

This ad makes no sense from a business stand point.

I can see them spending the money if they wanted to try and generate opposition to the deployment, but if the box is already there, it's too late for this ad to be effective. As far as the customer is concerned, the 'damage is done' and they should just consider the new competitor.
I don't live anywhere near Comcast or AT&T territory (believe me, I'm very grateful of that), but I would imagine that the deployment is still on-going. I would also imagine that if there is no demand for the product they would eventually delay or even cancel deployment in areas where it hasn't been yet deployed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20412643 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:59:45 EDT What is the point? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20412477 Dogfather : This ad makes no sense from a business stand point.
