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

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.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
