I've had an AT&T UVerse business connection. From a customer perspective, they don't know squat about serving the SMB market. Maybe they could up their game, but they have a long way to go. What they are selling is basically a residential product.

I think the biggest change you will see won't be the residential market but the SMB markets. Wireless providers see that as an untapped market for them they have already hit most of residential users. ATT is already doing it with their business DSL/Uverse . They offer backup wireless connectivity for when your getting poor performance on your wired connection using an SDN solution. I have seen in places it never runs on the wired connection. Now that they are all getting in on the higher frequencies and soon the 3.5 it will be interesting what happens.
