AT&T brings U-verse to St. Louis, Missouri area {Engadget HD}

Jan 8th 2008 3:50PM I just signed up in St. Louis. Talk about an amazing deal... 200+ channels with all the channels I wanted - unlike satellite and local cable services which, for the channels I wanted, I would have had to sign up for the extreme packages. 45 digital music channels in my area. Free wireless router (wireless G). Free year of HD service ($10/month). PLUS a $50 Visa Check card just for signing up with no contract. 3 boxes with 1 DVR. All for only $74 per month with no equipment or installation fees? You can't beat that anywhere. I tried to get Charter to come even close to that offer or they would lose my business. They couldn't do it, so I officially signed up with AT&T today. Customer service was extremely nice and helpful - I must say, I was pleasantly surprised given AT&T's history of Customer No-Service (phrase coined by Clark Howard).

Plus access to AT&T WiFi hotspots? I mean wow. You can't beat that. I'm also kind of excited to try out the ability to program your DVR from the U-Verse website (so I can do it from work!).

I am really excited and I hope the service lives up to my expectations.
