Aug 20, 2013, 1:59 PM
|
|
I'm trying to get some info on ATT Uverse. If you have it, how do you feel about the TV andinternet? How much better/worse is it than cable?
I know the price I can get on it is MUCH better than what I can with cable.
Thanks

I have Uverse for internet and TV...

Previously with DirecTV and Comcast. Switched because they offered me a deal I couldn't pass up and I had a baby on the way so the savings were tempting.
Not one single complaint yet. Excellent service, equipment, and customer service. I was shocked. I was a very happy DirecTV customer and was sad to leave them, but I haven't looked back since.

Love the wireless receivers for TV and the TV service. the internet service leaves some to be desired.
If you record/watch HD and/or have wireless receivers and/or a microcell, keep in mind that each of those services eats away at your available bandwidth(they "spot" you a few MB on top of your internet service, but for me it doesnt cover it). I don't "receive" what I pay for to my internet enabled devices.

If you like the NFL you can't get the Sunday Ticket but you can get the Red Zone for $5/month.
Beware though the Red Zone is HIGHLY addictive.

pray that you never have a billing issue--their admin side is horrible
also, price will go way up after promos run out(by then you'll be hooked more than likely)
wireless tv boxes are awesome

I had it. Bill went up 50% at the end of the promotion
Aug 20, 2013, 2:43 PM

so, they had to go. AT&T works much harder to get new customers rather than keep existing customers.
Did not have positive experience dealing with customer service, although the TV content and picture was superior to cable.

We called as our promotion was ending and told them we would only stay on for the same price we were paying and they extended us no questions asked.

Internet is GREAT if you get the max service. Also, the ability to watch all the Clemson games on your phone all season is AWESOME! The TV service is the absolute best ever. I've had satellite and Time Warner. Beats them both by a mile!

Ironically....

the AT&T folks conducted a sales blitz in my neighborhood this past weekend.
I currently have Charter Communications for television, internet and phone which coasts me (with all taxes and fees) roughly $200 per month.
AT&T was essentially offering the same package for less than $140.
While everyone I know who has Uverse really likes it, they do not seem to offer the same HD sports channels that Charter offers (i.e., Fox Sports so I'm not able to watch the Braves) and local HD channels which made it a deal breaker for me.

UVerse. On the Sports part, you get FSN South, not Carolinas, and Fox Sports South. Most Braves games you get but when its a Peachtree game that FSN Carolinas picks up, FSN South doesn't b/c it's Atlanta based and obviously the Peachtree channel (where ever it's syndicated in Atlanta) carries the game.

I have the U450 and the Max Plus internet and phone
Aug 20, 2013, 3:29 PM

and that runs me $141/mo. I added 3 more receivers (2 wireless which are great, especially for a day of multiple tv setups for sports) that cost me another $21/mo. I find the quality far superior to anything I've had (and I've had them all).

I'm also in Greenville and I do get local HD channels and Fox Sports from UVerse. Try using 1004, 1007, etc. for the locals. I believe that channel 1724 carries the Braves. I left Charter almost 2 years ago and I will not go back. Right now I am paying $114 for internet and television, for the same service with Charter it was close to $200.

No complaints. Ask your neighbors though if they have any troubles, there are some neighborhoods that it just doesn't work as well. Rare, but it does happen. Like cable, you don't have to worry about the TV going out during a storm, which is nice.
I have the 18mbps internet, and it's plenty fast. Almost all channels are available in HD. Uverse is WAY better than cable.

At least weekly something goes wrong that causes me to lose signal (both tv and Internet go down) for at least half an hour.
For some reason strong thunderstorms knock the signal out as if it were a satellite service, but my Directv never went out last time I had it, unless some solar activity was screwing with the satellites 
HD video quality is sub-par though, bottom rung on the ladder of the various service providers IMO.
Internet is mostly consistent. I do like their wireless TV receiver though.
I should say that I left AT&T for DirecTV and Comcast (Internet) and wanted to keep them. Sadly, the apartment I live in now is only wired for AT&T so I had no choice in the matter. Did get a great package price though due to the forced migration.
Their technical support is good and respond quickly.

I like the tv and Internet but watch your bill they will sometimes up to double it. Customer Service will usually change it back with no trouble

It's been great for both TV & IN service. Had ATT DSL internet along with Direct TV for several years after being a victim of Charter Cable and the service and quality was hands down better with that combo but simce going to U-verse both TV and IN service r much improved. No comparison between ATT DSL and U-verse for IN. There r different packages for bandwidth and download speeds though so performance will depend on what u pay for but customer servive and reliability have been impeccable in my experience
