If you can get it. In my case, we have fiber to the top of the mountain, but it's still copper to all the houses up here, so they can't deliver Uverse. When I get the inevitable AT&T solicitation calls, I always get them off the line by asking if they can deliver Uverse yet. When they say "no," I just remind them that they're asking me to cut the download speed to one tenth of what I have with Comcast...
Yes that's the problem, I had to wait 4 months with people within a block of me having it. It's definitely worth the wait.
According to "Saturday's Down South" web page Direct TV originally hadn't planned on carrying the SEC Network. However, they received so many emails and tweets from disgruntled southerners they have issued a statement saying they are "talking with the SEC Network".
Off topic here I have Uverse, I heard reg cable is a faster Internet, What do you know about it?
U-verse and Dish are the only 2 carriers to date for the SEC network. I believe Direct and comcast will also, but may require subscription to a pkg, although I can't see why, as it's included with U-verse....at least U-300, and 400.
I get pretty close to 30 mbps. I think Uverse tops out around 12.5 or so. I also only have the middle grade of Comcast. They promise a good bit more than that with their top speed, which last time I checked was something like $25 more per month. It's not worth it to me. Another thing about cable - I get much better speeds now. It used to be that I could tell a real difference from during the day (I work a good bit from home), as compared with late afternoon, when everyone would get home and get on it. Comcast has the pod saturated enough now that I can scarcely tell the difference. I understand that's not true with the competing cable company here in HSV. All delivery systems have choke points somewhere. With Uverse, it's just further upstream...
I was just about to ask about how good the internet is with u-verse, but I think you cleared that up.
I believe Comcast will eventually carry it. They may wait and see to what degree it competes with their CSS...
My Uverse is 24Mbps but that is the highest they offer, and they only offer it if your signal is very good. It all depends on the area.
That's the highest Uverse I've heard about. Maybe I just don't know folks who can afford it...
I believe you would see the difference in streaming. I'd have a hard time leaving Comcast. I've had the same email address for 14 years with them now (and three years before that with @Home). Literally thousands of people have that address. I have the same "eself" with Hiwaay and I've been trying to phase that out for a couple of years. Just about when I'm about to pull the trigger, I'll get something in under it and I go "dammit can't do it yet..."
I have the 18Mbps (24 is available here also) and it's $56/month IIRC...it is pretty much on the money, each time I have performed a speed test it clocks right at 18.That's the highest Uverse I've heard about. Maybe I just don't know folks who can afford it...
