Re: U-verse or stay with AT&T Pro DSL & Dish network
Thank you for the info guys. I think I will pass on U-verse for now. Don't have any real weather issues here in Southern Cal. Don't need 18Mbps or 10Mbps, it would be nice, but not for 2X the cost. I read that people 3000ft from node only get one HD feed and one post here at DSLR suggest that 2500ft should maybe wait. The Dish is on the back part of my roof, so it's out of sight.
The only reason I thought about changing was fiber optics wow how cool is that. I remember reading a few years back about fiber optics and how much faster it would be...
Thanks again

AT&T and Comcast (and any company other than Verizon, with their FiOS) tends to get into marketing pissing matches over which network has more "fiber". But no cable company has deployed residential FTTP, that I know of, and only Verizon's FiOS is all FTTP.
AT&T does have a rare neighborhood, or three, with FTTP; but whether their FTTP areas all have Uverse, or not, I don't know. Uverse is, mostly, like the cable HFC plant: FTTN (Fiber To The Node).
