Dropped Direct TV, just signed up for AT&T U-Verse


Hotsauce

Recommended Posts

Well, my 2 years just came up with Direct TV. I was paying $140 a month for Sho, HBO, all the BS channels, etc...I was renting 2 HD/DVR boxes, and one HD box

For my internet, I was using AT&T, 8 mbps $47

Today, the deal I got from AT&T U-Verse was...

U300 package, includes pretty much every channel with Showtime and Starz. (they also threw in HBO and Cinemax).

They are giving me 1x HD/DVR box, which can record 4 shows at once, plus you can watch any DVRed show in any room, plus two regular boxes...all FO FREE!

Internet upgraded to 12 mbps...

House phone 250 minutes.

$250 visa gift card

No fees, installation charges, etc...nothing!

At the end of the day, this deal (above) they gave me was $137 TOTAL!!!!

So in conclusion, I was paying $187 with Direct TV/AT&T.

Now, I am saving $50 a month, plus I am getting more channels, a home phone line, and $250 Visa gift card!!! ....and its not costing me a dime out of pocket!

Anyone have U-Verse? Is it the bomb.com or what?

$147 sounds like the promo rate we got. Then it goes back up to about $190 if you want to keep the premium channels.

As far as performance, our Internet has never dropped, and the box has only frozen up on us a couple of times and the reboots are faster than anything we had with TWC.

No matter where you go, you're going to pay an arm and a leg, so you might as well go for uninterrupted service. Uverse is good that way.

I am not a big premium channel guy, in fact the only reason we have HBO or Sho is because we enjoy the shows that come on Sunday nights (dexter, broadway empire, weeds, etc...)

I am thinking about getting the service called Vudu....anyone use that? The way Vudu has been explained is that if we like a show that comes on Sho like Dexter, we can stream it for 0.99 per show. So any show you like will cost you b/w $4-5 a month depending on frequency.

It's going to sky rocket when their promos disappear. In the new place we got Direct TV and TWC Internet. I used to have Uverse... It's great if you drink chapagne out of lobster discarded tails

Really? They said my bill will only go up like $30. I dont need 12mbps, so I could downgrade that, and as I said before, I dont care too much about the premiums.

    • DB was getting washed early. Even in 1v1 situations. I think he figured it out later, but they definitely gave him more breaks in this game than I've ever seen him take. There was a play where an olineman rolled B. Brown up. The next play he absolutely wrecked the play. Need that BB to show up early on Sunday. 
    • I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem. 
    • This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation.
