Comcast vs ATT U-Verse...

[bassman]

I currently have Comcast cable and internet.  A door-to-door ATT U-Verse rep is offering me one of their "packages" which is "suppose" to include new Cat5 wiring throughout the house (wouldn't know that for sure until actual installation begins and what the installer agrees to do).  U-Verse does offer a nice DVR, possibly a few more channels, 12MG internet and would be about $30 less per month for the next six months...then the HD service goes up $10 and HBO goes up $15.  Was told I could complain and threaten to drop them and I could keep the current prices even after a year or two.  Anyone make this switch from Comcast to U-Verse?  Are you happy with U-Verse and what do you think of it in terms of picture quality, computer speed,  customer service, reliability, etc.??

TIA !!

We have had u-verse for about a year now and like it.The DVR is much better than Comcast and the Internet speed is great. No complants here. Not sure about the Cat 5.

I switched from Time Warner cable to U-Verse a year and half ago. Absolutely love it. We got more channels with 18 Mbs Internet for less money. We had gotten really aggravated with the menu system on the TWC system. They had changed the menus around to where it was so convoluted that it would frustrate the heck out of you to try to set any programming. The U-Verse box is dead simple to find your way around it.

Picture quality is great. Recording keeps going for a minute past the show's end time where TWC often would cut the last few seconds off the end of a show. Programming, even for series, is drop dead simple.

The ONLY thing I don't like is that there is no slow motion choice on the remote. Never would have thought about not having slow motion till I didn't have it.
