Tulsa, OK | We'll see... especially if they move to metering.... Wonder how many people get UVerse for TV, or get it to get faster broadband... |

Yeah - metering may be a deal breaker if I ever want service.
On a 3Mbps plan, I would expect no less than 60GB/month
6Mbps plan, no less than 150GB/month
10Mbps, no less than 300GB/month as 'reasonable' caps.
Eg. 95% should never hit them.. yet.
A 3Mbps plan could theretically pass through 1TB of data/month.

Im having Uverse installed tomorrow. I was only interested in HSI, but was talked into the TV side for the free install. Ill try the TV for a month for free, but I dont see them competing with Directv at this point, especially in the HD department. Only time will tell!!

Well maybe I took it wrong, but I'm pretty sure at&t was talking about metering service for DSL not Uverse. Perhaps they meant both. |

I live in a Uverse area... and still don't know anybody that has it.
I already have the DSL, but invested in HD receivers for DirecTv...
So that will keep me from moving over, even if the speeds are incredibly faster. |

ATT was bitching about backbone capacity being used up and not making any more money for it.
That is the excuse they gave to be looking into metering so no matter what the delivery to the end user will be as far as DSL or fiber or wireless of some kind...it will all hit the backbone at some point. |

Getting a stable tv and internet signal was our motivation. Getting a tv signal that was visibly superior even on our old analog sets, an internet signal whose speeds never varied more than a few percent, and a system that stayed functional even when thunderstorms rolled over the area were bonuses we did not expect, but are enough to keep us on U-verse and away from TW cable. |
