I'm on my second year with uverse and am just eh about it. I wouldn't even be with them anymore but when I went to cancel after the first year they offered me a deal to keep what I had for the same price. I still wasn't all about it and said, "Eh, I just think I want to cut the cable and be done with it. Thanks though." Then they offered me double the internet speed and 200 more channels than I already had for $20 less per month than I was paying. I couldn't turn that down but really it just made me wonder how bad they were ripping me off before. Their DVR's are not reliable at all. We are on our third one, they keep failing. This wouldn't be a big deal but you loose everything you've recorded when they replace it and even though there is a USB port on it and they say you can transfer everything, you can't. Their internet freezes up and quits working about once every other day. When it happens you have to unplug the modem, let it sit for 30 seconds, and plug it back in. When it reboots everything is fine for another 24 - 48 hours until it does it again. Sometimes if you just ignore the problem for a couple hours it starts working again on its own.
Take all that for what its worth. I'm kind of a TV scrooge. I don't think really any TV is worth what any companies are charging for it. I sit there at night with 1000 channels and not a damn good thing to watch on any of them. But I need internet and if you buy internet alone its just as much as a bundle. So the way I see it I'm paying for internet and getting 1000 channels for free.
We haven't had a land phone line in probably a decade.
