said by ILpt4U:The problem with this analysis is bad method.
NONE of those (46% of 1 Million is....) ~460,000 customers that switched from DSL to U-Verse had AT&T TV. Some may have had the AT&T|Dish Network service, but no one had a purely AT&T TV service. AT&T gets all the U-Verse TV revenue.
~6% of potential customers have already adopted, and the service has been available (in select areas) for what, 2, 2.5 years?. If you take into account that many areas are in their first and second years of availability (some areas in their first few months), and combine that knowledge with the fact that potential customers might be in contracts with current providers, there is already a built-in bias against switching to AT&T U-Verse when it first appears.
Anyone have any idea how fast POTS grew in terms of customers vs service available? Cable? Cell Phone Service? It would be interesting to compare these growth numbers. I doubt they are too far out of line.
I think U-Verse is doing OK so far.
I'm in my 2nd place now where Uverse is NOT offered in Austin. I say they are full of shit on that 17 million number.
