Comcast out... U-Verse In

So we finally decided to get rid of Comcast after losing channels (we can get you back those channels if you just upgrade to the next package) and the bills increasing.

We opted to try AT&T U-Verse since I didn't want to hassle with any of the satellite dishes and it looked like a pretty good deal. $200 cash back, free month and one free DVR. The installation took about 3 hours with no major issues. Digital signal, 4 channel simultaneous DVR, and a bunch more channels (including my favorites, NFL Network, Big Ten network, multiple FSN's, multiple ESPN's, Shawnna got her GameShow Network back). and CMT!

And all of this for about the same as Comcast was charging us. Going from a VCR to the DVR has been kind of nice (I know I know... stepping into the 21st century). We will see as we have it for a little while.

U-verse is AT&T's digital cable. We're behind the times too! I'm absoluetly infatuated with the digital recording.

I look forward to hearing more about your experience as we've talked about switching also. Comcast costs waaaay to much and has poor customer service. Not sure AT&T would be much better in the customer service area... but at least the cost would be better.
