AT&T U-Verse Kinks Bugs being worked out ahead of June expansion Yesterday we chatted with an AT&T rep who insisted all was well with AT&T's "Project Lightspeed", despite some analyst proclamations they were stalling to figure out how to increase speeds. Light Reading today quotes anonymous hardware vendors that state the U-Verse (AT&T's name for their IPTV) service still has kinks, but that they're working on "forward error correction" technology to resolve some alleged packet-loss related image quality issues. AT&T will expand the San Antonio trial in June, and expand the IPTV service to 15-20 markets by year's end.

San Diego, CA | Take your time AT&T Go ahead and take your time AT&T, as Time Warner and Cox Cable have you already licked here in San Diego. | |

Valencia, CA | Re: Take your time AT&T Well, there's no rush here in Valencia, although I have seen A LOT of SBC trucks in the area over the past couple of months, and according to SBC/AT&T tech (had to test my line  and degrade my service), they're doing fiber on Lyons Ave in Newhall, CA.
Unless they can offer as good of a deal as DirecTv, I don't see them getting any real customers.
Comcast (Valencia/Castaic) = $$$
DirecTv = good value
SBC/AT&T = ???
I use a combo - SBC/AT&T phone lines + DSL Extreme DSL. Comcast is too expensive. There are MANY Dish / DirecTv roof tops in my neighborhood. | |

| | | Light Speed? As most people in Illinois forget, but Geneva is a "Home Rule" town. They can make laws work in their favor for the betterment of the community.
Have another cup of coffee, and think about it again, not that things are any better here in San Diego. | |

Upper Marlboro, MD | Re: Light Speed? How does AT & T plan to get around the local franchise issue. I am sure when it starts to roll out video services in markets later this year, it will face lawsuits left and right and they will be slapped with "buildout suspensions" by state courts. | |
