AT&T Fiber with Uverse
Posted on 2/20/17 at 7:22 pm

Anyone have any experience with the 1000 plan from AT&T & Uverse?
They have recently laid the fiber in my neighborhood so naturally I'm interested in booting Direct TV for this bundle package. It will save me $100 a month. Thanks in advance for your feedback/advice.

I got to try it out during training, get ready to pick your jaw up off the floor with how fast it is lol. We downloaded an entire album in like 10 seconds, if that.

Why boot DirecTV?? They are owned by att anyway. Keep them and get the fiber internet.

With comparable TV package I can save $100 month.

Does ATT gigapower = Uverse? They've laid down the fiber in my hood so I'm hoping it gets activated soon so I don't have to deal with cox.
What sort of packages do they offer?

Depends on if you want to bundle or not

Yes, you can get Uverse TV with Gigapower. From what I remember reading, the streams over fiber come in at 12 Mbps. If it's over copper, it's at 6 Mbps. If you have the 1 Gbps plan, bandwidth won't be a problem whatsoever, as there aren't many devices or servers on the internet that can handle or dish out that kind of juice. If I'm wrong, there is a poster here on this board that is an at&t technician. His username is BottleGnome.
Uverse TV is 1080i on the HD channels, but there is compression. You can get packages that are pretty much comparable to anything out there another provider offers. Go to the Uverse website, enter your address and it will pull up pricing and offers available in your area. You may lose Cox Sports if you're a Cox customer right now.
Uverse packages tend to run a little more than the DirecTV packages, as it costs at&t more money for the programming on the Uverse TV side. If you don't want the satellite, tell customer service you don't want a satellite or just order it over the internet.

Yes I've had both for a few months now and they're both great. The internet is very fast and has been reliable.

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that. I assumed it was the same regardless.
I have AT&T 1Gb fiber. It is fantastic. I have it paired with DirecTv Now, which is less fantastic.

The speed is ridiculous. I did a speed test at a customers house last week after wrapping up the install. I was pulling 285mbps down with a 3ms ping on my cell phone. He was coming off of the old DSL, the stuff that was around before vdsl. The customer was in awe at how much faster everything like webpages, Netflix, Pandora, etc. were working. No more buffering at his house.
BTW the gigapower name is no more. The service is now being called AT&T Fiber.

They laid it in our neighborhood about a month ago. Found out yesterday they went through my sprinkler system

Bottle, see my question in the ATT fiber thread below.

So homeboy can stream 5 HD movies in his house and never see a buffer message?

More like 10 4K streams.
But bottle is reporting that speed off of a phone wifi. Gonna be much higher with Ethernet.

So BottleGnome, what about DIRECTV Now/Broadband TV versus Uverse? Is this an option offered and has a comparable price to Uverse?
In our neighborhood new fiber was hung and AT&T is pushing hard on Uverse and a high percentage of customers on DIRECTV are moving to The Uverse bundle of Uverse/internet/IP phone at about $125/month.

This is the deal I got a few weeks ago. I couldn't be happier.

Sold!
Can't wait for this to be available uptown. I want to get rid of Cox. Worst service in the world and the internet is shite.

I swear it's like living in the future.
Are there any apps right now that demand that much bandwidth at a residence? Streaming 4K has to be the biggest hog. Right now fiber is light years above what anyone actually needs.
ETA: I was just thinking that the next logical step is instillation of fiber inside of the residence. The limiting factor of data streaming has always been the carrier cables. How far away is fiber optics inside of new buildings?

For a new Uverse customer, are there other options to watch Cox Sports w/o Cox?

I used to think that, and that may one day be the case but I'm not sure. Cat 5e can handle 1Gb, 6 can handle 1Gb, and even faster over short runs, 6a can handle 10Gb over 100m.
