It sucks that they're phasing out Uverse. It's been the most reliable high speed internet and "cable" TV I've ever had, in TWO different cities. I'm really bummed to hear that.
I briefly went to their fiber offering, which was a bad idea. If you live in an area with buried utility lines it is probably OK, but in an older central city neighborhood with above ground utilities (poles), they didn't take into account how fragile the fiber cable is (it's glass). It got broken by the city's tree trimmer two houses down and because they didn't stock the cable in Austin or have local crews, we were without internet or TV for two weeks.
We went back to the regular Uverse after that, and no problems.
