I had drops the first week.....but, it works perfect now. I really like it better than cable and dish.
My wireless if faster than roadrunner and DSL that I previously had.
If you're just using it for normal browsing I suppose you would never notice.

no. i do the bit torrent thing. i get 700mb movies in about 20 minutes. i haven't done the gaming thing if that's what youre referring to. i do have it hooked up wirelessly to the wii and that's ok.
AT&T Yahoo! Internet Access, U-verse Enabled offers four tiers of downstream speeds:
Express: Up to 1.5 Mb/s
Pro: Up to 3 Mb/s
Elite: Up to 6 Mb/s
Max: Up to 10 Mb/s
I think TW averages 8 to 10 but in some areas I think you can go as high as 15.
i have the elite. the 10mb wasn't offered when i signed up, but the 6mb is enough for me. were you wireless?
Ahhh I see. That makes sense.
I was hard wired in because the wireless part of the modem was broke and they couldn't get someone out to my place to fix it The person who installed it shrugged his shoulders and told me he would call it in. It never worked.
whoa bump! well just to let you all know, we got rid of U-Verse.
what fer?
So that makes two people on this thread.
I had Pro, but downgraded to Express. My wife uses the Wifi with our laptop and I have used it as well with my PS3. I don't have any complaints about the speed when playing my PS3 online (MotorStorm & Warhawk). I've played wired and wireless.
The box occasionally acts up, but that is easily resolved with a simple box reset. I'm a happy customer.
Reports are that ATT is getting out of the video business relatively soon(12-24 months).
Just sayin'.
does that mean U-Verse?
Doesn't surprise me. The concept is a good idea, but unfortunatley AT&T is very disorganized. As far as fiber optics, it is the way to go, but there is alot to it. I install fiber to the home in the Bulverde/Boerne area(not AT&T). I if I could get this service where I live I would in a heartbeat, but I reside in SA. The problem right off the bat is your inside wiring. What kind? how old? does it loop? Also your conections on your user end. I could go on and on. AT&T u-verse is basically your phone on steroids. If everything is not up to code, then be prepared for problems.
Brand new home in my case.
It's much easier to pump phone through a high bandwidth cable trunk than is is to pump video through a skinny phone line. No surprise AT&T is bailing.
yeah at&t sucks.
Have it, it's awesome.
It costs less than TWC, has less problems, gets more channels, and has a higher upload bandwidth.
It's funny how these things are so hit-and-miss. For instance, with TWC I had so many outages it was ridiculous. Went through 4 modems and internet access regularly dropped every few minutes. Once AT&T came to the door with their price, it was a no-brainer.
Maybe I was lucky, but this has been a steal so far.
It all depends on what kind of customer you are. For me I'd rather have the added security of knowing that my DSL is going to continually be at about 4 mps whereas with TW you could be in between the 6 and 10. And then the fact that you're sharing the connection with the people around you just makes me a little wary. I get an awesome DSL signal because I'm within like 6,000 kft of the the remote terminal (pro speed). Anything that's express of basic (that I don't see listed....that's 786 kbps) is kinda lame.
i couldn't find anything about that. message boards had nothing indicating that.
That's because I made it up.
Seriously, I read it awhile ago. Writer was probably some slappy from the cable companies.
Take it with a grain of salt.
It's a viable business, and with TWC shooting themselves in the foot every fall with the NFL Network and increasing prices 2-3 times a year, U-Verse is a great alternative to TWC and satellite.
nfl network rocks, but not having nbatv sux
U-Verse will raise prices the moment they can.
what's stopping them from doing it now?
Might have something to do with the fact that they have had so many people cancel they can't even keep with the equipment being returned.
The "return boxes" have been on backorder since December so many people have canceled.
