Current UVerse Promotions

I am about to get Uverse again for our house, and was wondering if anyone had recently gotten a promotional rate, gift cards, waived fees, etc.
Just noticed they want one time fees for $50 each on the wireless boxes. That makes no sense to me, as those boxes save their tech the time and work of running wires.....

have you looked into direct tv? At&t is pushing direct tv over uverse (and will ultimately phase out uverse tv), so there might be better deals for dTV.

The techs are all idiots. Back when I had Uverse, I wanted to add a box upstairs in my kids playroom. My dad had an old TV where the base was broken, but we were just going to wallmount it and let the kids watch it up there. I specifically asked for a wired box, not the wireless, because of the install charge for it. And my house is very old so I just ran the coax myself before they arrived. I didn't want them messing around in the attic and trying to run lines up through the walls from the basement. Of course I wasn't there when he came, my wife let them in, and they installed a wireless box anyway. The dude was sitting right there next to a fresh outlet with a plug and coax connection.

Considering Uverse for TV and internet since UVERSE fiber is available in my neighborhood. I'm so ready to get away from Cox and that unlimited 1000mbs uverse is offering is tempting.
Anyone have this and any feedback?

The tech who installed my Uverse just gave me the wireless box for free because he said it's easier

Since you have had Uverse in the past, you probably already know this, but just in case...
If you get the Cisco 7005 wireless set top boxes (which is what they typically give you), you can only have two of them on your set-up. There are newer wireless STBs (I forget the number) that allow you to have up to five, but those are hard to find.
We just added a fifth overall STB. When I called customer service, they looked at the account and said they could add another wireless box (would give us two wired and 3 wireless). When it got here, it was a 7005 and would connect to the WAP, but not to the TV service. I called to complain, they sent a tech out, who brought me a wired box.
