 For an extra $9.99 a month ...

... we'll guarantee you that we'll fix your problem in the time frame we would have anyway!

Seriously, depending on the wording and commitment level of the SLA, this could be a good thing.

I think that should read...

Also, AT&T doesn't offer residential DSL (ADSL) service beyond 6Mbps. VDSL is sold as Uverse, and if there's an issue with the Internet, you can almost guarantee that there's an issue with the TV.

It says "6Mbps or higher", so I would read this to be a way to increase the price of the Elite package.

And you want the problem fixed by a human, it's $5.00 extra.

But they do offer 6Mbps, and the release states "6Mbps and higher", not "Higher than 6Mbps"

Actually, the way U-Verse is designed, the IPTV portion is on a separate network, and has priority. One service can fail without the other being impacted.

However, if there's an issue with the CONNECTION, then yes, both TV and Internet service will be affected. There's no way around that.

True... I guess I'm referring to local loop/VRAD issues.
I.e. If your internet is down due to issues on your line (not the AT&T backbone itself), then TV will be impacted.
TV is more likely to be impacted due to local loop issues than Internet.
