This was after several months of HD signal interruptions and constant pixellation. I’d previously had at least 3 service calls to address the situation. Each technician and a different reason for why it was occurring and a different fix.

So I signed up to Uverse (12/08) and have been extremely happy ever since. I’ve had ONE service call to address an outage, and not only did I get 2 automated reminder calls about the appointment, but the technician called while finished up the previous appointment to let me know he was on the way.

One thing I’ll admit is that the HD signal is slightly more compressed than Comcast’s or Direct TV’s. But to me, that is a very small price to pay for NEVER having to deal with the likes of Comcast ever again (and I don’t trust the reliability of satellite signal in our hood).

Whatever the sales pitch is, it’s usually short and rarely repeated in the future. This also helps discourage any “sales” persons who are actually casing houses.

ATT folks finally admitted that they were unable to make U-Verse work to my home. Went back to Comcast which at least is watchable. ATT folks were professional though and I liked the Uverse features (except it didn’t work).

If the miscreants persist, a footman gives them a damn good thrashing and summons the constabulary.
