I just looked and uverse isn't available where I live...tear.
Weird, ATT is constantly trying to get me to move to U-verse. I've got Comcast digital cable w/DVR and the top of the line DSL (old school style) at 6Mb. I've looked at U-verse. For me to get the same service, the cost would end up being pretty much the same. I know the quality of my service now. My DSL and cable rarely go down or have problems.

For me to switch, considering I've got good service now, I'd have to save some money, but I don't think I'd do that.

I tried to get it turned on a couple of years ago. I spent about 1-1.5 hours talking to some guy on my front porch about it one night and talking to the activation chick on the phone. They told me it was in my neighborhood and scheduled a turn up day. The guy shows up and can't get it to work. He calls another tech that's got the right tool, to eventually determine, that I'm too far away from the fiber.

Nah, they're going to have to do something really special to get me to switch.

One thing, I read back when I was thinking of switching. The HD channels are more compressed than they are on regular cable, so supposedly the HD quality isn't as good as cable. Other than that, it's supposed to be great.
