Re: AT&T U-Verse in City of Chicago

There's a pin just 6 miles away in La Grange but I'm within the city limits (just SW of Midway). Oh well I've lived two years without TV service so I guess I can wait a while more =/

I live in the Midway area, and for the past 3 weeks or so, i have seen crews of AT&T Technicians working away on 4 big boxes sitting on concrete slabs in the public way in my neighborhood. I was hesitant to ask them what they were doing but finally i did. The technician said they were installing the U-Verse equipment and the service should be up and running within the end of the month. I will update within a couple of weeks and see if he was right, i sure hope so!

I'm guessing it has to do mostly with Midway Airport because AT&T has only rolled out U-Verse in the outskirts of Chicago and surrounding suburbs. On my behalf, I'm not too far from Lincolnwood/Skokie on the N. Side and been reading reports in the neighborhood newspaper about how "ugly" they look. "Eyesore" I'm hoping my immediate area will be included to give a kick in the butt to Comcast.

I don't understand why they don't put them in the alley's.
That's where all the poles are anyway.

Whoa where did you see the VRAD boxes near Midway? I live near 63rd/Narragansett and have been waiting for AT&T to get off their asses and gimme some uverse love ever since I moved to Chicago two years ago! Hell I'd love a VRAD right outside my apartment... Faster speeds for me!

It's not going to matter much if AT&T won't release their cap at 6.0 down.

What 6meg cap are you talking about for U-Verse? VRAD's deal with the U-Verse internet which offers 1.5, 3, 6 and 10 meg down.
