Can anyone that has had experience with U-verse tell me if it's a good or great service and if I'm just better off with cable or satellite?? U-verse is in OKC where I live, but I'm not too sure about switching if the HD/DVR is crap..

I have had U-verse in Dallas, TX for the last 6 months. I have had great service and picture quality with both HD and SD. The only drawbacks are only one DVR and no full home DVR capabilities yet. Although, that is supposed to change. Internet speed has been quick (Pro Service @ 3 Mbps) and the one service issue I had, was resolved quickly.
I recommend it, still young system, but only getting better.

I wish this would hurry and get here (Jackson, MS). They inked a deal with the city a while back, or so that was the word from the newspaper, but I haven't seen or heard anything since then. I would love to get rid of Comcast.

How in the hell does Owasso get this, but we can't get any competition to cable other than satellite in Raleigh?
Oh well, I'll let my grandparent's know.

I only want U-Verse for the broadband internet. 10Mbps downstream with 1.5 Mbps upstream. It is rumored to be in Bartlesville, just north of Tulsa by October this year.

I live in Owasso and tried to sign up yesterday but it was not in my area yet. It is at the ATT store here in town if anyone wants to stop and see it.

I spoke to a manager for AT&T last night. He said it's kinda like the original DSL rollout. But even more restrictive on the distance your home is from thier equipment. He said the system has to pump about 65megs of bandwidth to ou in order to accommodate the full package.
It runs on fiber optics to the "substation; then just via copper wire to your property.

Indiana Review of AT&T U-verse
Although there are no contracts for AT&T U-verse, the installation can be lengthy and ineffective, resulting in a lot of wasted time (and our internet didn't work properly for 2 weeks). Reliable internet service is just as important as television service for us.
AT&T U-verse - Still beta testing on consumers without full disclosure.
(AT&T U-verse: A Consumer Report Indiana http://att-consumer-report.com For potential AT&T U-verse users, you might want to check this site for further tips to consider before allowing AT&T U-verse to take up your valuable time. If you have a simple set up, with just a few TVs and don't need a wireless internet for your computers, it may still be worth trying.)
AT&T started the installation process for our Carmel, Indiana (Indianapolis) home 8/6/2008 and they abandoned us on 8/20/2008. It was quite frustrating to have them give up when we were ready to wait it out while they finished. After fixing many other problems, they finally said they couldn't fix the internet.
We had many problems with the AT&T U-verse Gateway and the wireless home network provided by AT&T. The internet speeds were so inconsistent that even reading e-mail became a burden (speeds varied up and down randomly from 350 kbps to 5.7 kbps and back down within very short time periods)
Playing games on the internet was impossible.
AT&T told us they couldn't deliver reliable, consistent internet speeds via their wireless network. I thought they could have fixed the problem, but I guess not.
-Long, ineffective installation process
-Slow, slow internet speeds (when using wireless network)
-Internet lags and disconnects
-When the going gets tough, AT&T quits and walks away
It was not worth the trouble and the internet just didn't work. In the end, AT&T gave up.
