Uverse quality questions

I switched to uverse from com cast to try to save money. The Internet part is terrible and their customer service is the worst that I haver ever had to deal with.
The picture is an improvement over Comcast and the DVR is less buggy than Comcast.
I had Direct Tv at a previous home but the area that I moved to is very tree laden and the reception was to spotty. Their Internet was to expensive to even consider purchasing it.

Richard thanks,

I am getting cable tomorrow so I will report back shortly.

no goid alternative, everyone has us by the short hairs.

Everyone I know who has switched away from DirecTV, especially to Uverse, has really regretted it. I'm very happy with DirecTV, I wouldn't switch.

Learsfool,

I now have Charter cable (SW lower Michigan Co) and the DTV remote ease of use smokes it. The DTV really impresses me with how convienient it is to use and the cable remote is down there with Dish Network remote, maybe worse, too soon to tell.

cable sound is bad, a bit worse than DTV.

cable picture is surprisingly good, HD as good as DTV off air and the standard def stuff is clearly better than DTV standard, so I am kind of geeked about that.

DVR works pretty nice and is supposed to hold 100 HD hours.

Overall not bad for a savings of $40.

fwiw the bottom line reason I switched is that a big tree does not permit me to use HD with DTV and they just brought my price back up (charging me for HD) after an extended discount period.

my two cents...

thanks guys!
