Re: [Speed] Comcast Cable vs. AT&T U-verse ?

Thank you very much for the info tshirt.

I asked att if a contract was required. They told me that there is no contract and neither any cancellation fees.

The package includes 200 channels including locals, hd dvr, video-on-demand as well as 18mgbs internet connection for around 125 a month. it doesnt sound bad at all.

However, now I came across verizon FIOS and i read alot of good reviews for them. most comparison reviews pick FIOS over comcast without any hesitation.

One thing I know for sure is that i do not want to give comcast anymore business. I've had it with their lies and crap.

I know U-erse is available in my area but I have no clue if I can get FIOS around here. I live in northwest suburbs of chicago. Well "streamwood " to be exact.

Fios is only in areas where Verizon offers phone service. There is a better chance of you getting hit by lightning and winning the lottery the same day then getting Fios in an AT&T area.

lol scooby!
Thanks for the reply.

I see you are from my area as well.

Which would you recommend in our area??

Comcast 16mbps or U-verse 18mbps?

I really do not car about the television services. I download alot of movies so my priority is the download speeds.

I'd stick with Comcast if you download a lot. AT&T is implementing download caps and charging $1 per gb when you go over. I do not think they have stated a cap for 18mbit yet but if it is 150gb, it would cost you $100 extra to match the 250gb cap that Comcast has.
