I asked this on the M/TV board but will ask you nerds as well, do any of you have Uverse. Mrs. Prytania would like to switch but I don't know enough about it to make a decision. Is ATT interwebz just as fast or slower?

My parents had ATT uverse but switched back to Cox because the customer service is so terrible if you have any problem at all

On a related note, does your UVerse box always have to be plugged into the ethernet jack in order for it to work?

My apartment came pre-wired for UVerse, but I also like to hardwire my PS3. This could be a mega pain in the arse, especially if I'm trying to DVR stuff.

I have U-Verse in Houston.

Granted I live a block away from a fiber line running into downtown houston, so my connection is really strong.


I haven't had Cox in a while as I haven't lived in South Louisiana in 7 years.


But I love my U-Verse.
- The guide doesn't freeze up.
- You can change the channelse without that 1 second freeze in between channels.
- The guide doesn't look like it's from the 1980's.
- Customer Service is fairly good. Better than my options around here. Typically if I have a problem 1 day, I call the morning of the 2nd and they are fixing it that afternoon.
- My 12mb connection is sick. I hardly see the lag my xbox friends do and I typically pull host. I'm not sure if you're a gamer but this is huge.


But if you love the Hornets, LSU, Saints....it's hard to switch from Cox due to Cox Sports.
