For Those Of You With AT&T Uverse Internet...

I hate cox cable as much as the next guy but I have almost never seen anyone on here say they enjoyed their internet uverse experience.

I've seen numerous people on here switch back.

I have the 45Mb and don't seem to get that much over wifi (where it is located, I can't hard wire anything). I think it is their shitty all-in-one gateway that they make you rent. If there was another provider in my hood, I would switch.

I have an Asus router I used with Eatel. I wonder if there's a way to turn off the router features of the AT&T gateway and just use it as a modem, then use my Asus router as the wifi gateway? I might do some investigating to see.

Uverse internet is garbage unless there's a fiber node close by.

No you dont- I only get about 450mbps of the 1000mbps I pay for. The installer said that was the highest he has seen of the 5 houses on my street that he installed too. I dont need for than 100mbps for what I do so I don't really mind

Do you get (verified by Speedtest) the speeds you pay for? I pay for the 75 Mb download speed and only get in the 30-45 range. That sucks a tallywacker.

I paid for 80 and consistently got 15-20.

ATT techs said nothing was wrong. Kept changing the box.

I called ATT and told them to drop me down to 20 since that's all I was getting anyway. Very little difference.

I started off having the same issue as a lot of y'all with AT&T U-Verse. Check the frequency you are connected to. For me the 5 GHz is the fast one, but doesn't reach the farthest room in my house. In that room, my laptop switches over to the 2.4GHz band because the range is almost twice as far. However, the 2.4 GHz band is usually around 20 Mbps.

I have my router spitting out two different networks to keep me on the fast one most of the time. I have had U-Verse in 3 different houses over 8 years in the BR and NOLA areas. All 3 houses had faster than I paid for speeds no matter if it was in the city, suburbs, or country.

I only pay for 24 and i often get 24 or even around 27. But sometimes i get 10-15. It's hit or miss really.

It just about never goes out though. For me at least. One positive i can say.

I have gigabit from Uverse but i don't seem to get that much, but it's plenty for me to not even notice the difference. I've been meaning to complain but just haven't felt its worth it.
