ATT U-Verse.. Anyone Have it?

Well I signed up with ATT U-Verse . Anyone else have them? Nov 6 is the install date and I can't wait to dump Comcast!! It is there new fiber optic service that provides TV, Internet, and phone.

 

I have rabbit ears and my neighbors non-password secured wireless internet

 

i think my dad had comcast a looong while back, if i recall correctly they sucked big time, too slow.

 

I did have ATT/cingular internet, its decent. Have no experience with home phone/TV though. I do know their cell service sucks. Best $200 I ever spent was getting out of that contract early and switching to Nextel

 

This is Fiber Optic and no contract either. One reason I stayed away from Dish TV. Comcast was bad for speed, but they just keep raising the prices. The I signed up I got a letter from them with a special deal... haha... not today.

 

The worst we have for the bundle packs up here is a company called Charter. Terribly slow internet, terrible cable. Expensive as well. I was getting it free at a previous apartment. Thank goodness I wasnt paying for it.

 

Yeah, I heard Charter is bad in Michigan also.

 

I have ATT uverse. It has it's problems, but not as many as I had with Cable and Dish network. The internet is the fastest. I love the menu display and now you can use the DVR in any room.

If you're using HDMI expect to have problems. They have a problem with their firmware that has been going on since they started the service. Repairman told me they are suppose to get the new style boxes sometime in the next few months. Atleast they admit there's a problem that they can't do anything about though. Time Warner jerked me around a long time before they fessed up that their equipment has issues they weren't able to fix yet. Repairman told me if I get one of the expensive HDMI cables it "might " fix my problem. I have to reboot the system several times sometimes to get sound .. and it takes about 5 minutes for each boot up. OR just use component cables.. but they don't seem quite as sharp.

 

Wonder if it is the same problem the Comcast Boxes had with HDMI. Think they disable so you can't use it. When they do the install I will ask if they are having issues. So what brand boxes are they using? I let you know if a few weeks on what I get. Also I bump the Internet to their fastest package since my work pays the bill that..;D.

 

It's a Motorola box... and I went almost a year with no problems... Last year they bought me a new box and that fixed it up until a couple months ago. Now it's doing it again.. The support there is far better than Time Warner. Sometimes they send a guy out the same day to look at your problem. The phone people and the repair man both told me about the known problem that they can't fix. He gave me some gold plated component cables for free... but like I said I think the HDMI is a tad clearer hard to tell. I may try a monster HDMI cable. I bought the $7 ebay HDMI cable.
My internet has been flaking out a few times per day here lately. They tweaked my wireless gateway over they phone and it worked fine for a few days, but has started doing it again. That's on the wireless only. The main computer always has internet working. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. You'll really like it and the price is great. I pay $130 for HD package, Showtime, HBO, Moviechannel, Starz, Phone, Internet. and a gizzilion channels.
