Re: Certainly would be nice if I could get it.

that tells me U-Verse offered them intro deals which WILL GO up and the customers will be back to Cable for the new intro deals.

this deal is an intro price. Many of the deals ATT pushes when going door to door are intro deals.

Cable maybe famous for the intro deal but at least during that you won't see your rate go up, like ATT has done countless times since being in the cable business again, even after they claim prices would go down.

ATT also only got the customers they did before the new year due to telling them that their cable TV service wouldn't work due to the digital change over. They'd get them worried they'd lose their services since cable wasn't doing anything about the change, and then found out in Feb. that CableTV is still around.

Come to Ohio and find out how many customers have left ATT to go back to Cable. Especially in the Toledo and Cleveland markets. Both cities HATE ATT and support the cable companies.

AT&T seems do be doing quite nicely with U-verse. They are pretty much growing as fast as they can install. They passed the 2 millionth customer recently according to the press release.

Like I said, they both suck in different ways, and people should find out what works for them.

I take with a grain of salt anyone who makes generic statements like "U-verse sucks! Anyone with a brain should just get cable!" or vice-versa.

2million isn't much when you compare their entire foot print with who will or will not get service.

Many of their customers only get the service due to being stuck with them or they signed a deal they have to keep them or they repay the $200 back they got on that "gift" card.

Also you believe everything ATT has to say in their press releases?

Sounds like it. But then again, you're a customer.

One of my neighbors that just got U-verse installed was in the middle of an intro deal from Mediacom when they dropped it. Once again, I wonder why they would do that if it weren't for a significant problem. I haven't had a chance to talk to them directly about why they dropped Mediacom, I just know they did after about 3 months with Mediacom and after getting a one year deal from them. Otherwise, the intro deals that U-verse is offering isn't as drastic as what Mediacom is offering, but U-verse seems to be getting plenty of takers in my neighborhood.

One further note: People leaving cable for U-verse could have to do with U-verse's superior picture quality to cable and their more robust HD channel lineup. I have witnessed the PQ from Mediacom and Comcast HD, and U-verse is better. Also, Mediacom and Comcast lag behind U-verse on channel selection. Also, not all channels being offered on Mediacom and Comcast's cable systems in this area are digital yet. Also with cable, you get the nice, bulky, slow responding receiver box. I have had both cable and U-verse, as well as DirecTV, and I have to say that U-verse is a winner for me at this time. There are things about it that could improve, but that sure as heck goes for cable.

I know people with U-Verse who would argue about how fantastic their picture quality is

just because they sign up the customer doesn't mean they keep the service. very long. that's the point. Also what do they have to do to earn that customer? I'm sure they'll tell that customer anything they want to hear. ATT isn't all that good.

And biased? you sound like it yourself. And ATT going to jail? Lets see, they have committed several felonies in this country against Americans, and non-americans and yet the same people are still there in their seats.

I don't see them going anywhere. Also who do you think has one of the largest contracts for the gov't? It's surely not Qwest.

they were crimes, both administrations allowed ATT to get off without charges. Hence why everything is now gone and the NSA programs still happen and ATT still funnels YOUR data to them.

And how is it my opinion that a crime was committed. There is proof. ATT knowingly placed all the equipment in those COs to do the wire taps. they placed the data in the hands of the NSA WITHOUT any warrants. Which ATT SHOULD HAVE requested. But they didn't. In return they get the gov't contracts with VZ.

Qwest as I stated did not have anything to do with NSA and told them to screw off without warrants. what did qwest get in the deals of gov't bidding, NADA! But like i said, you must have some stake in ATT, either that loyal of a customer or you work for them.

thats because ATT doesn't subtract those numbers. They just keep adding to them.

MyDog must have some personal stake in the company to believe everything they have to say.

Your senses are completely false. You can read my posts in this website about my AT&T experiences and see that I have had my differences with them about their rebate procedures. Nice try, try again!
