| Competition to TW? Really? I wonder where they will start. I don't have much hope it will reach my neighborhood. I live in an area full of $250k+ homes, more than half over $400k, and DSL is not available, has not since before I moved here in 2001. Close to 200+ homes in a 10 - 12 block area and the only options are TW or satellite. And I'm in the middle of a fully developed area, not out in the fringes where all the new construction is. I get a monthly email from SBC/AT&T telling me sorry, but no DSL for you.
Maybe that is why TW has been going around lately performing badly needed maintenance on their cables and amps? These last few weeks I have seen the SNR on my node improve to the highest levels ever after years of complaining to TW about slow speeds, bad analog cable TV signal, horrible digital cable reception and unreliable VOIP performance.
I sure hope that this new competition at least serves to keep TW's prices in check. I'll have to keep my eye out for any AT&T info about this deployment. | |

Valencia, CA | Re: Competition to TW? I still get weekly junk mail from AT&T offering the Uverse bundles, however, its bogus here in SoCal, as the Uverse Voice isn't available, making people still use POTS (filled with fees, and requiring extra cost for things like Canada calling). | |

| I dumped TW over a year ago because I got tired of fighting with them over bad reception. They would come out and fix it only to have it go out again in a week. Went with Direct TV and have never looked back. Have always used ATT for internet and with the "Pro" am satisfied. I will certainly look at this new option soon | |

Dallas, TX | I did read somewhere (from MarkyD I think) that El Paso had bad TWC service. AT&T's announcement is probably very good news for TWC subscribers. TWC will have to upgrade their lines and service, perhaps 20/2 Mbps is in your future? | |
