ATT U-Verse v. Cox

My parents have Cox and it's awesome. My apartment has UVerse and it sucks.

I have UVerse and really like it. The internet won't be as fast as Cox but I've never had a single outage and it's still fast enough for Netflix.

The TV stuff from UVerse is great especially if you get the movie channels. UVerse pricing really beats Cox in this department.

When I switched from U-Verse to Cox, the 50mbps package was $67. It shortly went up to $74, so I threatened to cancel. Now I pay $59 for the $74 package. If you have u-verse available, you have the power to negotiate.

I personally wouldn't switch to u-verse. What's their 24mbps price? Like $60+ a month? So you'd save a few dollars for half the speed and double the latency (assuming you couldn't get your bill lowered, which you can). Not sure what their 45mbps price is, because it's not available where I am. Too far from the VRAD.

I wrote a long post recently about the pros and cons of cox and u-verse: LINK

I have Uverse and haven't experienced any problems. I'm paying for 24 down and average around 20 over Wifi. I don't watch much tv but went ahead and got the U300 for the SEC Network. Where I live is a finalist for Google fiber (and I heard the we unofficially got it), so I'm expecting a significant upgrade in service in the near future.

Att TV interface is awesome, but their crap internet makes it not worth it. They will also randomly increase your bill until you get pissed and call them. I had enough and went back to cox. ATT wouldn't even stream Netflix in HD.

I've had both... Cox's cust service is way worse than ATTs. 3 months in a row they tried to charge me late fees and or cancel my service when I had the auto bill pay set up since the beginning of my contract which was started damn near 9mths prior. They then tried to pull one over on my wife and i proceeded to almost tell the guy to get fricked when I got on the phone. Cancelled right then and there.
I have no problems with my ATT internet, its fast enough for what I want it for and I pay less with way better TV. I have never had any outages or problems with either the net or tv. That all being said.... Cox was okay, but the cust service got me.
