With Comcast and enough TV/DVRs you can record/watch every HD channel they offer at once.
This is true because they'll just $5/month you to death with their 20 HD channels. So only 10 DVRs extra and $50/month.
LOL as if ATT wouldn't do the same thing if they had the capacity (which they don't).

Simply ATT can't handle recording two HD channels while watching another live HD offering.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22568839 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:41:09 EDT Re: SLOW http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22567792 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22567792 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:40:17 EDT Re: SLOW http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22565114 said by Uncle Paul:

I can DVR 4 at a time.

With Crapcast, I can only DVR 2 at a time.
You can watch a HD feed and record 3 other HD feeds at the same time?

Because it memory serves (which granted it doesn't at times) U-Verse just rolled out the ability to support 2 HD feeds at one time.

Uh isn't that 4 SD's at a time or 2 HD?
Nope.

I can record 2 HD and 2 SD at the same time.
That's what I meant max 2 HD's at a time. ;)

As my TWC 1 year all the best is 'up', it'll be time to move over to AT&T to try Uverse on a similar initial price point, now that they have VoIP services.

12 mbps is the speed i generally see when something is wrong with my cable, average is about 17 mbps(28 with powerboost)

I wonder who this is supposed to compete with
TWC measly 20 HD channel lineup in my city. With U-Verse, I easily have 50+ HD channels.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22560772 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:59:02 EDT Re: SLOW http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22560594 said by Uncle Paul:

Something tells me they won't be in rush to upgrade in areas like yours (if they ever do at all)
Time Warner is the worst in terms of upgrading. At least AT&T makes some attempt to offer services consistently across its footprint. TWC doesn't even offer speeds consistently across the LA market. Speed upgrades seem to be a knee-jerk reaction to FIOS or U-Verse, instead of trying to be a market leader.

The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area is huge and is projected to have the highest growth percentage of any US metro area over the next 10 years. The problem is that (and I think you're alluding to this), they have no real incentive to upgrade because their competition is Road Runner at a paltry 7Mbps/384Kbps, or 10Mbps/512Kbps if you want the insanely expensive turbo tier.

I think U-Verse is available in parts of Charlotte, but to my knowledge, no where else in North Carolina.
U-verse is also available in Raleigh. It's been available here since December or January. I got mine installed in February. I got tired of waiting for TWC to bump up their speeds, and I get more TV channels for less money than I was getting with Dish Network. Overall I've been very pleased with U-verse so far.
Perhaps I am confusing RDU and Charlotte then? They did recently roll it out in parts of Charlotte right?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22560280 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:33:12 EDT Re: SLOW http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22560257 said by Matt:

Who? TWC? I don't expect TWC to be in any rush. They've had the same old speed tiers for several years now, and I can't remember when TWC last bumped up the upload speeds. The tier just below "turbo" has been stuck on 384K for FOREVER. I know a lot of people that are dumping TWC for U-verse because of that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22559950 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:40:33 EDT Re: SLOW http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22559799 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22559799 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:12:42 EDT Re: SLOW http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22559609 said by DataRiker:

I guess who it's supposed to compete with depends upon location. Here in Raleigh, NC the only competition is Time Warner Cable. TWC's top "turbo" speed is 10Mbps down and 512Kbps up...so AT&T U-verse blows them away.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22559609 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:42:56 EDT Re: SLOW http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-SLOW-22559581 said by DataRiker:
