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

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.

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

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 had the opposite experience -- I'm in Austin with Time Warner Cable and I found TWC to be superior in HD picture quality. (However U-verse has superb SD quality.) I guess it just depends on where you are coming from. I've seen lots of posts from Comcast customers saying U-verse was better than Comcast.

Also TWC's HD lineup was comparable to U-verse's. U-verse is particularly bad at sports packages. Unless things have changed recently, they still don't carry the NBA TV channel or the NBA League Pass package.

So, I kept TWC for TV but have U-verse for Internet and Voice. What I did was call TWC and tell them "Hey these U-verse people have everything you have for TV at price XXX!" And they matched it.

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

I doubt it, I've seen lots of Comcast customers post that U-verse HD is superior. I think Comcast compresses the hell out of their stuff in some markets.

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!
