Valencia, CA | Re: "Special two year price" on broadband They didn't push much when I called and ported.... they just let me port my line to TimeWarner. The local stores are promoting $200 and a free month.

| Re: "Special two year price" on broadband Enlighten me. How is Uverse worth a crap? I mean Time Warner who I had before I moved, offered 15/768. Uverse if I recall is only 6/1 or there abouts? It doesn't seem to offer any real competition to cable companies /incumbents in the area. Therefore, who'd switch over to it when better most likely exists? | |

| Re: "Special two year price" on broadband but... but... but... you can record 4 shows at once on one DVR!!!!*
(saving the Uverse fan boys some trouble)
* - Only 2 HD feeds for your entire house, only 4 total TVs for your entire house, only 1 DVR permitted for your entire house, and no the boxes aren't networked together. Stake your claim to the best TV and tell the family to bugger off. | |

By the way...how are your penguins? | |

| Re: "Special two year price" on broadband =). You keep bringing it up. I'm not obsessed with it. I mentioned it as a FACT. Period. Strange enough, you've mentioned it a bunch of times afterward. To each their own I guess (as saying goes). What you enjoy and what gets you off is none of my business. Glad I could suggest something, though, to make your life a bit happier. | |

| Re: "Special two year price" on broadband TW's DVR guide in Valencia is the former Comcast TV Guide software. When Time Warner took over, it mostly stayed the same, just some advertising popped up on the guide in place of a row of channel information.  It's functional but REALLY dated.
U-verse's is, IMO, quite a bit nicer, but is a tad on the slow side and still not quite as refined as some of the better DirecTV boxes I've seen. It has some nifty interactive features (traffic, weather, games, yellow pages), but I never use them because they take forever to load. At least AT&T is actively making improvements to it.
After the my first rough week of connectivity, U-verse internet has been solid and fast since. Pings are a little higher but more stable than TW's.
I miss TW's VOIP, though. I don't know what the heck AT&T's hold up is getting U-verse Voice to LA.

| Finally! The real world visits the sticks, some competition at last; may be a bit late though. If they really want to compete then raise the upstream limit and yes, It can be done! I live here and had SDSL until yesterday [Friggin Earthlink, rot in hell and take your outsourced Monkeys with you]. Pump that low tier upstream and something might come out of the pipe.
I imagine they will have to have thicker and newer copper to make the service useful to the general public?
Ah, shouldn't down them for trying, but does seem a bit like closing the gate after the horse has bolted. Did AT&T finally wake from their slumber..... | |

The line quality here sucks, too. At least where I'm at. | |

| Re: How about more BASIC DSL in Little Rock??? I live off of lakeshore on valley forge and I have yet to be able to get DSL out of them. I have been waiting for all this UVERSE to get turned on in the area so I can get away from horizonbroadband and the price gouging that they are giving us. 500k for 50 dollars a month is not kosher in my book but its that or 24.4k dial up. | |

However, I have some family that moved a couple of times, being told that it would be available there, then when they get there, told that its not.
My line quality is kinda poor, though... lots of CRC errors, and dropped packets. | |
