I hate it. It always loses connection at least once a week. Equipment is crap. I've been through numerous modems and boxes in just six months. Stay away.

I have Uverse, but switched form Cox. It is so much better, and they are actually decent people to talk to when I need something (I doubt this will last though). Also, their techs seem more knowledgeable and definitely less creepy than other companies I've dealt with.

Its by far the best

Love it. No problems but will probably cut the cord in a couple months just because we are tired of paying for it.

I've had it for 3 years in Houston and have never had a problem. I really like the interface both online and on the TV and they have some pretty cool apps during the Olympics and Masters. And whenever my rate goes up due to my promotions expiring, I just call and retention hooks me up again.

I've had it for 18 months and it's great. No issues at all. Their DVR is way better than the crap I had with Cox (at least as far as capacity).

i switched two or three months ago. much better than cox.

In Baton Rouge, switched over from COX about a year and a half ago, uverse has been far superior. Less outages, less freezing, better DVR (although I think COX has upgraded their DVR system since then) and I've had no issues at all with the internet.

I don't get people who say this. I have had it for 6 months and not had one single problem. Had to restart wireless cable box after rain once.

I had it for almost a year at my last house and had no issues now I moved into a new house and
They are supposedly running another line but we'll see if that works.

Be careful. I've heard they lock you into a 2 year contract and give you a discount on the first year then you see your prices shoot up all the sudden. I warned a friend and he said he had the year discount and a one year contract so everything worked out for him. Also, the 2 year contract information is hearsay and from an unreliable source.

It's actually the opposite. The price is guaranteed for 2 years, but you're only under contract for 1 year.

its the opposite
1 year contract, 2 year deal
1 year contract, 2 year deal

Yeah this dude was probable just trying to prove his point and feeding me misinformation. I'm just so used to the cox channels though.

It might be an area thing. It sucks over here.

I loved my U-Verse. We have DirecTV right now, and I miss my U-Verse.
