Simplifying Broadband for Today's Consumer

AT&T U-verse vs Comcast

U-verse Triple Play bundles start at price points significantly lower than bundles offered by Comcast, and usually offer better features. Additionally, the ability to pause and transfer video amongst different U-verse enabled STBs (Set Top Boxes) gives U-verse a tangible edge over Comcast’s offerings. Comcast’s broadband tends to be a better value from a strictly download-speed-for-the-dollar basis, but AT&T’s U-verse relies on a low-ping vDSL that may prove superior for some tasks.
