| | I am very excited to hear about this.
For one the price. $129 for everything is dirt cheap. Right now I pay around $80 to Dish for Silver HD, Showtime, Locals, 1 622, and that damned phone fee.
On top of that I pay $55 to the cable company for a 3mbps internet service.
So for less money I get more than I am paying for and get away from the cable company.
Hopefully by the time its available here they will have the HD issues sorted. Once you have a 622 its going to be tough for a lot of people to move to something that will not record more than 1 HD channel at a time.
I believe they will be competitive since the upgrading will be more centralized rather than having to upgrade everyones box physically.

While this is DSL service, is it not standard DSL and has no PPPoE. I uses the same VDSL signal as the video service uses.
I am happy to report that as of this morning all is working! Including remote DVR programming, I will review it later.  | Thank you.Looking forward to your review.There are rumors going around about AT&T rolling out U-Verse here in the Dallas area next month.If I'm patient enough for them to give us service,I think I can be patient enough to use it.

Just remember, it's only 1 HD stream so if you're recording one HD channel you can't be watching another HD channel.

Hi, I am a Uverse tech here in houston, texas. We have the VRADs that are next to the SAI boxes. Could you take a picture of one of these pole mounted VRADs please?

Just got a call from my wife telling me that she just had someone from AT&T stopped by and they dropped off a $50 American Express Gift Check for us because of the mix up on Saturday, plus an thank you card and hes going to try getting us the first month of DSL for free, plus he also left his info incase we have problems again.
Now that is what I call customer service. THANK YOU AT&T.
