I had u-verse installed about one month ago. Great service. Channels look good, free DVR, 3 set-top boxes for free.
Only real problems are that the install times available are only 8:00-12:00, nothing after those hours, and weekend installs are very limited, so it will be a waste of one weekday. The install only took about 2-3 hours for me, but my complex had some equipment already setup so expect at least 3 hours plus for install. Also the channel changing is slow sometimes, a little bit more lag than digital cable. Also channel lineup is weird, the channels that most people watch are allover the place. The should put the entertainment and local channels is one area. I want my local channels, entertainment channels and news channels all within one area, then the sports and premium channels. But right now the selection is all over the place, and the lag in changing channels gets annoying when all your favorite channels are not near each other.
But I have to say that factoring in the price, this service is excellent. I got a special so I pay $55 for U-300, for the next six months then it will jump to around $70-80. But for comparable cable service and internet, I was paying $100+. Also I get one year of Showtime and Starz for free.
If the price stays relatively cheap, then I have no intention on going back to cable.
