A-T&T Uverse is a VDSL (Very High Bitrate DSL) service which delivers high speed internet, phone, and TV service to its subscribers.
Uverse uses IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) to relieved both standard definition and high definition television service.
At&t Uverse Internet offers users connection speeds of up to 18Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload. These speeds are much faster than what is available through traditional DSL.
My uverse service has not frozen and I am very happy. We do not experience any echo or delay our phone service. The HD picture is superb. The service comes through your existing cable wire which the technician will change when he does the install. They even used an adapter to make my power outlets hardwires for internet access. In addition all of the set top receivers have ethernet connectivity and they emit a wifi signal making your entire home wireless. So you don’t have to use hardwires.
ATT UVERSE SERVICE SUCKS! I’ve had had this for about a month and its horrible. the service freezes at all the times of day. it freezes during my recorded shows, during live Pay Per View events, i mean, common, why would someone shell out 40-50 bucks for a PPV event if the signal will freeze over and over right!? well i found out the hard-way (UFC112 27Mar10)…sure if you call Tech Supp they can refund you for the event, but will they refund you for your monthly recurring charge? HELL NO! stay away from this service, don’t subscribe to something that freezes over and over. tech support is not equipped to resolve issues and their overall solution for everything is to reset the home modem (which doesn’t resolve anything!). I’ve has technicians come over to my house and shown them the problem and they don’t know what the problem is or how to fix it.
also if you have or get a bundle and ATT UVERSE TV services freeze, all your services will be disrupted. meaning if the TV connection freezes, your internet and phone connections will go down as well. Freezing times last anywhere from 5-15 minutes. and NO just cause you have a DVR it doesn’t mean that once the freeze is over you can rewind and catch up on what you just missed!
