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.
