Just had U-verse Internet installed.

13mbps... Was only getting 3 on a good day with Time Warner. Not bad for 20 dollars less a month.

3 with TWC? I have their basic package and routinely get 15.5-16, which is a little above what they advertise.

 

I inquired about Uverse at one point, but their internet rate was only less for a year. Then they jacked the price up after 12 months and it was the same as TWC, but for half the speed. Obviously not applicable to you if you were really only getting 3 mbps with TWC, but it wasn't a good choice for me.

I'm genuinely curious as to how that happened.

 

 

How does an internet connection fry the mainboard of a TV?

 

 

I don't know the technicalities of it, but Uverse TV isn't just through the internet. There was a box connected to the power lines by a technician. I've heard from several other folks that had the exact same thing happen.

 

 

ATT did not cover the $300 cost to fix it....but they have sent me THREE Visa $100 gift cards by mistake, so that kind of makes up for it.

You can order different levels of MBPS with U-verse. I get 20+ MBPS with U-verse. As far as costs go, I am not sure what I am paying in comparison to TWC but it is worth it as TWC poo doesn't work half the time.

Plus you can go and whine to AT&T support after a year and they will usually get you back on the same plan after 12 months

Actually TWC's basic package is 6Mbps so you must have the one up for that. They also have one that is 2Mbps. 

 

 

I have their Extreme 30Mbps getting installed next Monday. Working from home with 3Mbps using Windstream has been a nightmare but that is the highest they offered in my area.

Switched from Comcast here in Atlanta to Uverse when we bought a new house a few months ago. With DirecTV and Uverse, we are saving about $100 a month as comapred to TV+internet with Comcast. 

 

The kicker is the customer service though. I didn't think anything could get worse than Time Warner but once I moved down here, Comcast quickly proved that they were capable of sucking with even greater intensity and frequency. Sure, AT&T is not known for exceptional customer service but when I had my new service installed, the service guy basically said the following after installing everything:

 

"Would you mind if I was here for a couple more hours? It is not a requirement for your service but they would like us to start upgrading infrastructure when it makes sense so I want to run a new line to your house."

Couple of hours later and I had fiber direct to the house.

 

Oh and our neighborhood is almost certain to get Google fiber too.

 

There are not enough hateful adjectives in the English language to describe Comcast and Time Warner.

ATT/Uverse retention is really simple. Call the customer care number, say "cancel Uverse" and you get the retentions dept. (my retention agent was actually based in Charlotte). Ask nicely for any promotions to stay with Uverse. Again, ask nicely. Just did this two weeks ago.

    • They won my vote of confidence for this year
    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
