One word. Caps.

Thanks but no thanks. Until you include unlimited internet plans at a reasonable price, this will not go mainstream.

AT&T caps and per byte billing can GO TO HELL!

Um, AT&T has caps in one location only - Reno, NV. Besides, if AT&T implements caps for all their customers, other providers will do the same.

Besides, AT&T has over 1,000,000 customers on Uverse. The only thing holding it back here is that it's not available in more places. People are dropping TWC for Uverse around here like a bad habit. I know people who are basically begging for AT&T to get VRADs in their neighborhoods so they can dump TWC.

They're all going that way. They're just trying to figure out how to do it.

You want net neutrality? Okay, but they'll find another way to come up with the revenue.

Won't U-Verse cost more than $40 a month?

Doubt it. The ISP's that DON'T offer caps will see a HUGE influx of new customers. Caps kill me.... they're nothing more than yet another way for ISP's to squeeze more money from their users. What have ISP's done with all the money they've collected for being dumb pipe providers over the years? Instead of making improvements to their infrastructure, they've been stuffing it into their bank accounts. I'm sorry but if 2% of your user base is hammering your network, and this is causing you problems, they're either A) lying about those 2% of users causing problems for everyone else, B) Have ignorant network admins and are clueless about building a state of the art network or C) just out for more money. What's your pick?

Yes, U-Crap has signed up 1 million people.... care to guess how many people they've passed who have NOT signed up for U-Verse or who signed up and canceled within 30 days? I bet that number is 10-20 million!

Again with people are dropping TWC for U-Verse like a bad habbit- you can only speak for the people you know. More people have kept TWC than you know of.

TWC will match their prices when you call and cancel. Also ATT is much much more for TV and Internet than what TWC is.

$5 for EACH TV after your First one? WTF! TWC doesn't require that on SD TV. Also $35 for a decent internet speed. WTF?! No bundling options with a real discount?!?!

And don't get me started on their shitty 2Wire product.

OH! Also ATT sales reps lying about speed of cable Internet and how cable customers will lose TV after Feb. 17th. What a laugh!

ATT can't compete!

Yes!

U-100 starts at $44 per month. install is $99 if you don't add Internet or phone. Also they charge you $5 after your first TV for the STB.

Plus their Internet is $$$$$ much much more than what they want for their Plain Old DSL

Plus they don't offer bundle pricing.
