RE: U-verse vs DirecTv? I tried u-verse for a month. Same quality as DirecTV as far as I could tell. Standard def - don't know about HD.
RE: broadband I'm in mid-city and I have ATT DSL. I *think* it's only copper from my house to the nearest fiber box on the street. 6.0 Mbps down / 768 kbps up. $35 /month. No real problems with it. Down probably twice in the last year for a few minutes each time. RE: ATT I did have to call ATT a bunch of times to get the phone up and running and transfer the home number over from cox. It was a nightmare - ATT are the worst when you have a problem. Took about a month to get the land line set up. Really.
