Was curious if anyone has this. I'm currently paying 160 bucks per month for Time warner, and that seems like a rip off. I got an offer from Uverse for a year of cable/internet for 59 to 89 bucks per month for a year. Was curious if anyone used it. Was happy with it.

Or suggestions on what else is out there to use.

Thanks
 
I had Uverse for years and was extremely satisfied with it. I recently switched to WOW on a promotion (and a savings of about 100 bucks), and while I can say the picture is crisper, the service isn't as good as ATT. I'll probably end up going back eventually.

I had it in Toledo and was satisfied, but my source was nearby. That is an issue here, but probably not down in C-bus. The prices are consistent with a bundle and service is good if you get a certain associate that will come back to help you instead of going through the system. So whomever installs the service, get a card/number and that should help out.

Switched to Uverse from Time Warner about two and a half years ago.

The good: Wireless tuners and whole home DVR included in the bundle. Bundled discount and one bill for Internet, TV, and cellular. Can add the entire HBO family of channels for 3 months for free every year (April - June, get Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley yet have never subscribed since being Uverse customers). All equipment including WiFi router included, and get free WiFi all over the place at AT&T carrier public places. AT&T has a quick trigger to add new channels, and the packages are very robust. At least once a year there'd be a game or event I wanted to see that I missed because Time Warner didn't offer the channel, and if they did it was part of an expensive premium package. Never had that problem with AT&T and the U300 plan.

The bad: The wireless tuners can occasionally (rarely) drop signal and need rebooted, or receive firmware updates at night and reboot on their own. We're on our third DVR in less than three years -- no idea if that's the wife and kids tearing up the hard drive. Plus side is they've replaced broken DVRs the next day each time. Introductory price packages they're enticing you with are very likely priced for only one TV. You have to "rent" a receiver for every TV that you connect, and that's $9/mo per receiver. So you will need to investigate a more robust introductory offer if you've got three or four TVs. It won't be as cheap as what the base package, but it should still be discounted by about 50% for the first year.

We have four TVs, two with wireless receivers, and negotiated the first six months free for those.

I've also got it. Had WOW before we moved 3 months ago. We like it. They gave us $250 in gift cards. Once the 1yr discount is up, unless I can talk them into keeping that rate, we'll switch

after talking to them and going over everything I would need, the savings wasn't really what I was hoping for. The intro price was pretty bare bones. I've got WOW coming over on Monday to install just internet and am going to cancel Time Warner all together. Going to see how living off Hulu and Netflix goes. Hard to snub your nose at saving 1200 bucks a year.


I have a neighbor who has an Android streaming box I'm looking into. He says that's how he watches live TV.
