When their money ran out they were bought out by SureWest and everything went downhill from there. U-Verse finally hit our neighborhood in December and we were hooked up in January and are DELIGHTED!!! Our HDTV (50-inch plasma) has the BEST pictures and we have many channels to watch. Our phone service (VOIP) has been great and the internet is faster and much more reliable than I had with SureWest. We're sold!

AT&T HD picture quality was bad!! I was shocked. I hear it is because they compress the signal to much. Colors became very bland and there were many artifacts on the screen. Faces were washed out and not clean, like Comcast. Once again, I was shocked it was different at all. Internet speeds are slower than Comcast. I may have been able to live with that, but the HD picture was unacceptable. I am using a 58" Panasonic Plasma TV. AT&T's equipment was smaller and had more features. The software on the DVR box is very nice compared to Comcast. AT&T has more bells and whistles where as Comcast has a better foundation to work with. Had AT&T for a week and am going back to Comcast.
