How long has cable been 1/2 mild away. You can't prove a negative but if cable has little competition except satellite what keeps them from rasing their price. AT&T may not have lowered prices but they may or may not have slowed price increases. I suspect you would still have slower internet speeds if AT&T had not started Uverse. Other then reusing the existing cable all the equipment for Uverse is new and how long has U verse been available. How long has cable had to build their network. This crowd want instant gratification for $10 a month when you get your company up and running drop me an ad. I can only get TWC my choices are to move or put up with it or drop the service.

On the U-Verse side you can outrun U-Verse tiers with well-made DOCSIS 1.1. Insight offers 20 Mbps down, 1.5 Mbps up service that does just that. Conversely, here Comcast has decided to upgrade their infrastructure to DOCSIS 3. It helps that DOCSIS 3 adds effectively two high-end residential tiers to the internet offering, pushing ARPU up a smidge. Competition in this area doesn't quite exist yet; Qwest tops out at 7 Mbps minus overhead for their DSL. Upstream speeds are around 700k.
