Re: Maybe one day soon?
hey, I work for AT&T (for 2 months now, also in a different department) and I still don't know when my area is going to get it. I sent an e-mail to the U-Verse department and was basically told (not in these words) that it is confidential, even to employees. |

I don't know if they really had no idea, or if they had orders not to spill the beans.
I work for at&t, formally Bellsouth. Fact to the matter, the techs have no clue when a system they are working on will go online. We get the order to setup the U-verse terminal. It is up to the company when the system is powered up and ready to go. As a tech, we aren't told much until it is time for the deployment of the system. Trust me, when the system is up and ready to go, you will know!!! |

Do you know of any visits to where your telephone service terminal is, i.e., a pedestal for buried cable, or an aerial terminal if you have cable on a pole? Normally, the technicians will test from your terminal back to the cross connect box to determine if your cable pair will support the service. If there are problems, such as bridged tap or very light trouble that you wouldn't necessarily notice, it will be repaired prior to providing U-Verse. You are usually looking at at least a month after AT&T starts testing before service will be offered. |

| VRADS are popping up everywhere, they are showing up all over North Carolina, one is within a quarter mile of my house, and I am fed through it.
I found some techs working there a couple of weeks ago, so I stopped to chat with them. They verified the new box was for U-Verse, and also verified that my line does go through that box. I was told that I would likely be able to get a higher speed DSL soon, but they had no idea of a date for actual deployment.
I don't know if they really had no idea, or if they had orders not to spill the beans.
Either way it is coming, but in typical BS/AT&T fashion, nobody is talking.
