said by pfschim:I know that these boards can get to be almost like equivalent of religious discussions (arguments), but really, I have had the UVerse triple play for 6 months now (U450, Max18 and one Voice line) and other than a few initial issues, I am a happy camper.
We are in the range of 1500-2500 ft from the POP and get 17/1.4 internet, clean HD video signal (one set) and the voice works fine (usual VoIP kind of service).
I know that other providers, particularly cable and FTTH based providers are rolling out 25, 50 and even 100meg internet services, but honestly, other than torrents and a few very narrowly used high bandwidth things, I'm not really sure that all this local bandwidth really matters much.
I went from 6/1 DSL to Max18 with the speeds listed above, and frankly didn't get any amazing improvement in my actual user experience of the web. In other words, it was fine at 6/1 and its fine at 18/1.4.
anyway, just my 2 cents
Interesting. I'm hoping for U-Verse in my area by August.
