| Re: Yawn In newer areas, AT&T is running FTTP. But they are also offering the service in areas that have FTTN but copper to the premise in which line lengths are low and conditions are good.
I'm in one of these FTTN areas and U-verse is great. I'm a bit worried about headroom--how they are going to offer more services in the future to customers like me who have copper on the last leg of the signal. But right now, it's a great value for what I pay. | |

| Louisville You didn't mention the slow rollout in Louisville that started about a month back. I live just outside of the city and a tech said that AT&T expects to have U-Verse available all throughout Louisville by the end of this year, and that they'll start rolling out to the surrounding cities (and unincorporated areas in the county) next year. | |

| Re: Louisville So far it is only available to two people out of several dozen I know, and one of them already signed up for it. Both of them are in newer suburbs, as for older suburbs I agree, there probably won't be anything seriously done by the end of the year. -- One time a person asked where the F button was on their keyboard. I told them they would find it next to the U button. | |

| Ahh yes, Matt you are in Jamestown where North State has plex. I hear advertisements on the radio for it here all the time. I wonder when AT&T will start U-Verse here in Greensboro. Though I can honestly say that I am happy with the 6mpbs FastAccess DSL Extreme that I have now. It is too bad that North State cannot run their own fiber optic lines in other parts of the county besides High Point and Jamestown. Of course, from AT&T's point of view they would have to compete with a smaller company with a superior product. Clearly they would not allow this. | |

| AT&T came to my door back in Feb 2009, said they were digging in the lines on our street for uverse, and that it would be orderable in the next 30 to 60 days. Well, it's November 2009 now, still can't order it, even though all the equipment is installed, all the lines are in. Methinks AT&T has run into some problems with the rollout. | |

| Patiently waiting for service here. BellSouth had said we would be up and running by mid summer (2009). So far, nothing. About 1 month past BS they issued a press release that service was available. As of today still waiting. No one that I've talked with has been able to order service. I'm guessing that when my cox service works right that BS are bringing customers online. | |

| Re: Patiently waiting in Smyrna What are they going to do with customers that are being served by a straight copper loop directly from the CO, as I understand U-VERSE is not available for these customers. Also wonder when they are going to boot FAST ACCESS which is outdated packages from the old bellsouth. | |

| I had my door to door sales rep visit in Oct of last year. They said it would be available in Dec 2008 but as of today still nothing. Obviously these 3rd party sales reps are just out to drum up excitement and to get the word out without any factual knowledge to their claims but still, I live 5 mins from downtown Nashville. | |

| It is funny...I live in South Florida, a Former Bellsouth Area...I am still waiting for DSL 3.0 or higher to hit this area I live in. I have DSL 1.5 off of a copper DSLAM, meaning no remote terminal but directly from the CO. When it rains I loose SYNC. U-Verse is nowhere near to even appear in plans for my area. I work for bellsouth, I mean at&t and I see where U-verse is going and where it is not. There are areas where I don't understand why U-Verse is going in and where it is not, i.e. my area. The company knows about my problem with the rain. Everytime it rains, I call the company and complain about the lose of SYNC. All they do is send a DSL "Contractor" and they say its outside...I know its outside... | |
