Re: hypocrites I agree 100%. I had sales kids coming door 2 door over Xmas attempting to promote Uverse as 100% digital/fiber with TWC being analog.
I asked them to sign me up when they run the fiber to my house, then they responded that its 'only' to a neighborhood node... and tried to point it at TWC being all copper. After I grilled them on a few questions - they said that they had work to do, covering all the homes, and couldn't answer my questions.
I wonder how many they sold on their tactics. |

| yeah both cable and U-verse are hybrid fiber/copper and that gets distorted all the time. However cable has coax copper that can carry tons more bandwidth than twisted pair copper, thus DOCSIS 3.0 can beat AT&T on Internet speeds. |

Valencia, CA | True. There's no DOCSIS 3.0 here - and AT&T's 'standard' 3Mbps/1Mbps bundle costs as much as TWC's 10/1Mbps bundle (with Boost).
I do live 1,000' from the VRAD, but I haven't had the desire to try it.
I'll just cut the TV cord though - OTA is good here in LA - I'm hitting 62 channels on OTA. |

| I advise you to give U-verse Internet a try even if you don't want TV or digital phone service. I went from Road Runner to U-verse Internet several years ago and have been very happy. (However TWC is rolling out DOCSIS 3.0 and 50/5 service here soon... tempted to give it a try.) |

Valencia, CA | I've been tempted to move my voice and Internet over, however, AT$T wants a $100 install fee.
TWC= $77/month for Internet/phone (10Mbps)
AT&T= $70/month for Internet/phone + $100 install. (3Mbps)

| Sign up for the lowest TV package (family?) on UVerse & there's no installation charge. No contract keeping you from canceling once installed either. |

Valencia, CA | I've been thinking about that one....
Uverse's cheapest bundle (triple play) costs more per month than my TWC 'all the best'. Kind of sad that you can get Uverse Voice w/o install fees, but the second they add Internet its $100, then triple play - they pay you back... after a few months.
