re: Moving to a rural area, I think uverse is my only option

Uverse is horrible in my area. Daily outages lasting from minutes to hours. Seems to be worse in midafternoon for whatever reason. A technician told me the modems are designed for fiber and don't handle the noise of copper wire well. The problem is if your house is in a rural area or more than ten years old, the signal probably makes the last part of the journey to your home over copper.
When it does work, I have no complaints.

I've heard some good excuses from Uverse techs, but this may be the best. 90%+ of Uverse customers are on copper. The equipment was absolutely made for copper. Your issues are with the cabling, either in your home or in AT&T's plant. The age of your house makes no difference. The age of your cable does. If the installing tech did his job, it would work fine.
