AT&T U-verse and why you should avoid it.

Previously posted on my blog.

I have had it with AT&T U-verse. Apparently merging with Southwestern Bell did nothing for the company. They claim to be different than SBC was, meaning much better and more professional service, but they lack in all areas.

First of all, the massive 2Wire box that they force you to use is nothing but trouble. This thing is ugly and constantly drops connection. I have never been a fan of 2Wire, or Motorola for that matter, and these boxes are absolute rubbish. They overheat, and need to be restarted over and over.

What’s worse is when that box loses connection, that means everything stops. No internet, tv, or phone. An all-in-one fail! Brilliant, AT&T! It took them two days to come out and fix the box. I was without any of that for two days. Now I know what it’s like to be Amish.

No more will I pay $180 a month for below-mediocre service from AT&T. I’m giving Time Warner a call tomorrow. And then I’m going to tell AT&T to come and pick up their crap from the curb of my front yard.
