| Re: Peace Just the kind of educated reply i expected from such a uverse fan as you've proven to be.
But trust me though, the chances of that having happened in this residence are zero.
You wouldn't find any AT&T service in this home. None at all.
Why have what's second rate compared to what I already have?
Who would need their much slower HSI here when the best they could ever do is deliver half the speeds I already get?
Who would need them for video when they don't have any?
And who needs them for phone when I have cell and voip?
Bye bye AT&T.
Tis such sweet sorrow to part.

| Re: Peace Then why do you post on all the Uverse threads? If you hate the company so much, overlook the threads. Its not healthy to have all this anger inside of you. I don't care about Comcast anymore so I don't post. I recently kicked them to the curb in my main home but my secondary residence is still serviced but not by choice. My beef with them is that they raise the rates every year after the holidays, they charge too much for HSI, hire inept workers, etc.
I only started getting interested in Uverse a few weeks ago when I saw the boxes going up around the corner from here. I am excited about it because it is a new technology and we are not in Verizon territory so Fios is out of the question. I've seen the demo of the it and spoke to a rep, it looks like they know what they are doing.
Why try to discredit them for trying? At least its something. Anything is better then letting Comcast try to take over the cable market. Running fiber to every home would take an eternity.
Is your home networked with fiber? If not, why not? Sounds like its all fiber or nothing with you. | |

| Re: Peace I don't try to discredit them. I call it like I see it.
And again, why do I do this? It isn't to take a pro cable company stance, as I've said repeatedly.
Quite the reverse, I would like to see AT&T succeed in a big way. To be able to offer some real competition for all of us in their service territories.
On January 7th...my connection will be taken over by Comcast. I'm not particularly thrilled about that. It's one more smaller cable company eaten up by the giant.
Some people are already posting that they're not even connected for a few days and they're already receiving rate increase letters.
The bottom line is, there is no one to stop them.
Here, and in many places, they own these cities and towns and it's their game..or no ones.
I speak about AT&T as I do because I don't see anything in uverse that will really change that.
It's not even here yet and it's already half the speed of what comcast offers with powerboost.
My connection will go to 6MB with powerboost to 12MB apparently. What exactly is uverse in the face of that?
It's just another low end service trying to compete with the cable giant. Just the way it is today with dsl.
AT&T CAN change this if they have a mind to. Adopt verizons strategy.
Those markets are seeing the real competition on service and price.
That's what this is all about. Having at&t simply do this the effective way...if they're going to do it at all.
I'm sorry, but I think that uverse will be a very costly flop for them. I just don't think that people on a wide scale will want their tv service delivered over their last mile telephone wires. They'll see this as a company struggling to compete..something thats second rate compared to what cable already offers.
I hope.for their sake..I'm wrong.
But I don't think I am.

| Re: Peace I have seen a U-Verse Demos showing a tech sync at the protector with 25mb and a max of 89mb. I don't think the speed boost can compete with that. Putting down AT&T is not going to make them change. Cable customers are going back to AT&T every 11 seconds after trying cable(I saw the billboard). The cable co voice service still lacks quality and is unreliable. Until then AT&T has anything to worry about.
