Not exactly, Karl...

quote:
The move comes shortly after AT&T pulled three channels out of their $10 per month HD tier (Universal HD, MGM HD and Smithsonian HD)
AT&T pulled Universal HD out of the standard HD tier. MGM HD and Smithsonian HD were new channel adds that went into newly created HD tier and have always been a part of it.

To everyone who thought that ATT and VZ would lower cable prices

Ha. Ha.

We can simply blame the NFL and the rest of the sports networks, that create their own "sub networks" (espn 3, espn classic, nfl network, big ten network, etc) buy games that people want to see, then gouge the providers in their prices.

P.S. A friend of mine has UVerse that does a lot of torrent download. He claims that when he turns on the TV, the internet speeds are cut in half. Anyone else facing this problem?

P.S.S.

Just an example.

Re: To everyone who thought that ATT and VZ would lower cable pr

From a sales flyer that AT&T mailed to me today, "Many factors can affect actual speeds. U-verse customers may experience a temporary speed reduction when the use of other U-verse services consumes otherwise available bandwidth."

LOL. Your TV is slowing down your Internet. Try not to watch so much HD!

I've had U-Verse for 9 months and can't say I've seen my DL speeds drop when the TVs are on. I pay for 18 down and 1.5 up, their highest tier, and use the U200 telly package. My 2 always-on boxes are wired to the gateway with 3 other family PCs on wireless. I torrent heavily -- mostly telly shows. Often my torrenting slows the wireless connections, but I've never noticed a slowdown from telly usage, which is normally one standard and one HD running concurrently.

Interestingly, I upg'd to the 18 (from 10kbps?) just before Thanksgiving, but I've not seen any difference for my extra $10 per month.
