I got the service installed... Thus far, i like it better than cable. The picture quality seems a bit sharper in my opinion... If you have an alarm system make sure uverse works with the monitoring system. If not you will need to update your current alarm system. Hope that helps... |

We switched from Time Warner to U-Verse in September 2007, and have enjoyed additional service at a lower cost. We initially opted for the TV and Internet U-Verse packages, and added U-Verse Voice a couple of months ago, with absolutely no problems in voice quality or access - also a lower price than we were paying for AT&T's unlimited long distance landline phone service. Other than one major outage of several hours in October 2007 that resulted from an unsuccessful major software upgrade by AT&T to their TV network, we've had no outages or marginal reception. Because we were one of the earlier adopters of U-Verse, we enjoy having all 3 TV sets with U-Verse set top boxes (STB) - new subscribers get the first STB free (a digital video recorder) with each additional STB (non-DVR) costing $5 a month. [Note: U-Verse requires a STB for each TV connected to U-Verse]. With the recent roll-out of the Total Home DVR capability, we can watch any program recorded on the DVR from any of the 3 TVs. As one of the other posters indicated, if you opt for U-Verse Voice, you'll need to ensure it works with your house alarm system. We use ADT Alarm Services, and U-Verse Voice works just fine with it. U-Verse Voice also comes with a Belkan Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) that allows Voice to remain active for up to a couple of hours should there be a power outage. U-Verse also provides the Residential Gateway as part of the Internet/TV packages. If you get U-Verse Internet, the Gateway can be configured to work as a wireless router, allowing computers to access the Internet without being hard-wired into the Gateway. The Gateway is similar to Time Warner's cable modem, although it also serves as the "gateway" between the U-Verse network and each TV in your house with a U-Verse STB. Again, we're very happy with U-Verse and have never had any sort of buyer's remorse from our switch in service providers in September 2007.

Thank you for your replies. That is very well put. I hope my experience with U-Verse is as good as yours. |
