AT&T Uverse internet.

Pricing after the teaser intro price? Speed wise all I need is fast enough to watch Youtube, WatchESPN etc.

You'll have to look on the website for that or disclose roughly where you live, but it's freely available before you sign up for it. In my experience, uverse Internet typically offers slower speeds at comparable price points to charter in my area, and charter has been as/more reliable than AT&T. We actually just made the switch the other way that you're talking about. My father was paying ~$45/mo for a 3mbps connection from AT&T. They offered to give him a new connection at 45mbps for $40 for the first 6mo and then $60/mo after. Charter was something like $40/mo for a Mbps connection. The coax cable was poorly installed, and one week later when I was fooling with the modem, it broke internally this was a Sunday. A tech was at the house on Tueaday afternoon (would have been there Monday morning, but no one could meet the tech).

Also, in terms of "fast enough" to do those things, if it's just you/you're streaming one thing at a time without other internet access in the house, 5mbps is about the minimum you'll want for HD live streams. 15-25 would be fast enough for probably anything you'd want to do unless you had several devices streaming HD at once.

Overpriced for the service, imo.

Thanks

It was not very fast nor reliable in bad weather. Charter is much better than AT&T for internet service.

hardline test is the only way to go

it's the equipment they brought

and yea I know, that's why I'm not mad about it. yet, that is

I'm happy with mine. When I switched it was cheaper and better channel offerings than Cox. I get a steady 18 & 2 on my internet. Nothing to brag about it but it works consistently for me.

I just switched from Uverse to Comcast here in Houston. Was fed up with Uverse's stability issues. Constantly having to reboot the modem. I'm literally 24 hrs into Comcast, so too early to give an opinion there.

Other thing to consider: Do you prefer point-to-point circuits or shared circuits?

I have Uverse in DFW and don't have any complaints other than my bill is going to skyrocket after this month. Charter is the only alternative I am considering, anyone in DFW have any experience with Charter?
