My uverse

And again. rmoc April 14, 2010 at 2:46 pm We have wifi internet service from uverse. For the last week it’s been going down at about 6PM and staying down. I can access it all day long but at 6PM it dies. Could it be caused from overloading the system. Its been going on for about one week. Obviously I can’t comment on that–it’s an odd network issue. I can say however that as a former Comcast user, the UVERSE (and AT&T “traditional” DSL service before that) has been air-tight. When Comcast ruled my connection, I became an ace at resetting my router due to fairly regular interruptions. MikeZ4 July 11, 2011 at 8:08 am I plan to discontinue my uverse service as soon as I return home, it is totally unreliable! Really? I’m only using the internet element of the service but as compared to my years with Comcast, it’s been rock solid specific to uptime. Ashley July 21, 2011 at 10:41 am What I learned about uverse is that they actually have two types of uverse. What they call the FTTP (fiber to the premises) and FTTN (fiber to the node). If your home was built recently and it is in an AT&T area it would most likely have FTTP which is a full fiber optic connection. If your home is older then it was most likely has FTTN which means that you receive a fiber optic connection up to the node that services your particular neighborhood or block. From the node to your home, your TV and internet signal would travel via there telephone lines. Granted, if you have uverse that is FTTN, AT&T gaurantees that the amount of telephone wire used is less than 3,500 (less than a mile) but when it comes to HD service

I checked ‘availability’ about once a month (using an online tool) and even called in from time to time trying to glean even the most modest pearls of information. Have you ever seen an AT&T truck with the semi-rhetorical marketing slogan “Ask Me About UVERSE”? Well not once, but twice I did when coming across a technician in my neighborhood.Jump ahead about 3 years and finally, the day came. I made the appointment and within a week, I was enjoying an 18 mps download speed, fiber-optic television courtesy of UVERSE! We decided to go ‘all cell’ and didn’t install the voice service. Finally, the curse of storm-induced DishTV outages was over and better yet, I now had BBC America.After two weeks, I called AT&T and dramatically downgraded my services. Here are the highlights behind the decision to end this honeymoon so quicklyOn my HD TV, I was able to cite a clear downgrade in HD picture quality. Sure I can be a stickler over ‘all-things technical’, but my son noted the same, over-compressed HD signal as a sub-standard when compared to the DishTV picture. I know many folks can claim the opposite to be true but in my scrutinizing eyes the picture wasn’t as sharpThe UVERSE DVR remote allowed users to “skip” forward (we seem to use that much more often than the fast forward option) but it subjected me to nevertheless watch the video. Sure it was in ‘fast

I got a new modem delivered from ATT and hooked up yesterday. Also changed my long ATT.... network name to something easier and new password. Everything is working great, except that our main Uverse receiver/TV is not connecting. Our secondary receiver/TV is working to watch a show, but no DVR features and no ability to record, pause, rewind, etc. I know that will be resolved once we get the main Uverse receiver online. I have unplugged everything, rebooted, restarted, reset, etc. etc. numerous times. I still get a blue band saying "video unsupported" and then it goes to the Uverse logo and the line on the bottom saying something to the effect of Uverse not connected. Please restart receiver. Which I've obviously done like I said. I'm on chat with ATT right now, but this has to be an easy fix. How do I connect that box with a new network name and password? I can't find it anywhere. OR... should I change network name and password back to the old one and see if that works and go from there? Much appreciated.

Browsing the web is that you’re only as fast as your weakest link (the website you’re visiting).Speestest.net is a great site for measuring your connection speed. Using a variety of test servers I found my speeds clocking in as low as 8 mps, regularly at about 10-12 mps and once in a while in the 16-17 mps range.Cost to Value Ratio: This is what broke the back of UVERSE. Had the 18 mps rate cost less, I’d have kept it. But upgrading my monthly cost from $35 a month to $65 proved too much to stomach based on my modest enthusiasm for the speed and it’s real-life results. If you download games all day (5 gig demos) or regularly transfer crazy large files like billboard size images it’s a keeper. But even as the power-user that I am, I just didn’t see the difference that warranted doubling my monthly bill.For the total goobers: The gateway hardware is comically large (the size of a Mom’s photo album) and the interface for managing connections, security and MAC ID’s in pitiful if you’re used to a full-featured set of options. And as one that grew to love DD-WRT, I’m almost in tears.If you were paying attention, you’ll recall that I didn’t CANCEL my UVERSE account but rather only downgraded it. One, in spite of the hulking breadbox gateway, it does provide consistent speeds–both upload and download. The promised speeds of 6 mps down and 1 mps up are effectively delivered. With my traditional DSL, I only got 650 kbps upload and about 4.5 to 5 mps down. The fiber-optic-based UVERSE clearly manages and maintains the speed more consistently. Additionally, keeping the new configuration gives me the option to change my mind down the road. You never know—prices and feature sets change all the
