Valencia, CA | Uverse Voice and/or Uverse Internet w/o TV ? Still waiting for a standalone Uverse Internet package or Uverse Voice package (POTS is expensive).
I'd rather use OTA HD than pay for MS-IPTV running on Windows CE.

I'd rather use OTA HD than pay for MS-IPTV running on Windows CE. If you have broadband internet already, AT&T Offers CallVantage VoIP as an alternative to POTS. $25/month for the unlimited plan at regular price. If you are an AT&T Wireless, AT&T DSL, and/or AT&T U-Verse customer, you qualify for a $5/month bundle discount that brings the unlimited plan to $20/month.
Setup is very similar to Vonage -- CallVantage (CV) runs on any broadband setup. AT&T ships you a TA and you plug it into your DSL/Cable/Fiber/Other broadband internet connection, and the plug your phone into the phone line port.
»www.usa.att.com/callvantage/index.jsp? - Website for CallVantage. You can order unbundled or bundled with AT&T Wireless Online.
866-596-8464 - CallVantage Customer Service. You must call to order to bundle with DSL or U-Verse, and of course you can order via phone unbundled or bundled with AT&T Wireless as well.
As far as U-Verse Internet only, some users have gotten it to work and others have not. But the process is order TV + Internet, and then cancel the TV sometime during that first month of free TV. Some users have gotten to keep their U-Verse internet after the canceled TV, and some have not. Read more over in the U-Verse forum here:

| Is this a sign of U-Verse I was told in this thread
»Whatzzit? New construction
That this was for U-Verse. I am in Morganton NC.
Is that correct, that AT&T is preparing for U-Verse in my neighborhood?

| I will be staying with Comcast....thank you! I don't see anything dramatically different about U-Verse as opposed to Comcast besides looking to be more expensive. They do have a slightly faster upload but we all know when Re-Verse is launched, Comcast is going to simply up the speeds.
If Verizon (God, I pray to you for Verizon to take over AT&T and implement Verizon FIOS!) were to come to Atlanta, then I would have something to think about.
Other than that, it is simply Comcastic - Phone, Internet and Cable TV.

Actually cheaper by a good bit if you look at regular pricing.
Of course comcast will offer promos to keep people from churning. | |

Conway, SC | Think they're coming... Pretty sure i've seen a VRAD or two pop up in the Conyers, GA area too.
They've (AT&T) been digging a pretty significant size hole at the corner of my neighborhood. If they put something in it i'll investigate. | |

Yes, it would be awesome if Verizon purchased AT&T BUT DO NOT THINK MIRACLES LIKE THIS HAPPEN. | |

Here | Cabinets 'Our users have spotted VRADS in Chattanooga, Tennessee'
Sure it looks like it houses a 7330...but that doesn't make it a VRAD...though it may become one. | |

| Yes, I will love the downgrade to U-Verse Internet Service. I will love having my FastAccess DSL Xtreme 6.0 at 6500kbps becoming U-Verse 6.0 at 5500kbps.
I will love the increased latency from my U-Verse Interleaved connection and my Xbox Live will love it too.
I think that I will stick with FastAccess DSL Xtreme 6.0 with a Data Path of Fast for my Internet connection and DirecTV for my television viewing pleasure. | |

Here | Re: Yes, I will love the downgrade to U-Verse Internet Service. You won't be synced at 6Mb/son U-verse. They use a similar shaping technique as bellsouth.
And interleave isn't bad per se. | |

| AT&T dropping previous cable TV service in Marietta Interesting. My boss, who lives in Marietta (north metro Atlanta) has had AT&T (nee BellSouth) TV service for several years now, and just got a notice that they were dropping TV (is it cable? I have no idea) service in his area altogether, and would he like to have DirecTV? (He can't, too many trees in the area.) | |

@embarqhsd.net | ATT comes to Atl In central Florida Bellsouth was in (employee) trials with IPTV before the ATT merger (1-1 1/2 yrs ago) but ATT uses a different system than Bell and it was all put on hold to be re-engineered or redone down the line (sigh) | |

Also I had before Adelphia(horrible service)witch was bought by Comcast and from what my neighbors tell me is sucks. Compare to Bellsouth that there cable went out 2 times during 2005-2008 and once was during Hurricane Wilma.
I think that at most was 5 times from 2000 to 2008 Including all Hurricane that pass. | |
