Re: so much said by fifty nine:Cable companies can offer better than U-Verse if they get rid of the analog channels and use MPEG-4 transport for their video offerings. Remember that U-Verse is using LESS bandwidth than what a typical cable company has yet is offering more. They don't even need MPEG-4, they just need to get rid of analog expanded basic on most systems.
They will be losing a U-Verse customer in the next week, though. The PQ on the TV service isn't very good (on larger TVs..it's fine on my 720p 37" set despite looking like ass on my 47" 1080p set), the DVR isn't very good, and the Total Home DVR feature is nearly useless. I'd keep the Internet service if I wouldn't have to pay for the month of crappy TV, but since I can only pay zero dollars if I cancel entirely, that's what I'll be doing next week.
Not only that, it's more expensive than Cox for both the top tier Internet (although it is a little faster and will only be $5 more a month after Cox's rate increase next month) and the TV service. If they'd get rid of the $15 in junk fees to get all the HD channels the pricing would be more comparable.

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.  |
