We switched our home connections to UVerse (from Insight) about three weeks ago, and it's been a mixed bag. On the one hand, we're saving a little money. The internet connection speed is about the same as it was with Insight. They claim a 17 Mb download speed for our level of service; we usually get in the 10-12 range. The television reception, however, has been problematic. Initially, we were having problems with long screen freezes (and this during one of U of L's NCAA tournament games! Aaaargh!), but they came out and tweaked it and made it some better, but we still get momentary freezes that interrupt the flow of the program.
Actually, I have no complaints (yet) about their service or the speed of getting a technician to our house. One of the technicians was very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of useful information about how UVerse works. Then again, I never had any major problems with Insight's service either; it was just their pricing that ended up driving us off. Maybe the good service is only because we're new customers and they're giving us special attention. We'll see.
