AT&T U-Verse – An Alternative to Cable Television

November 5th, 2009 No comments

Perhaps you have grown weary of higher and higher cable bills. That wouldn’t be surprising, as statistics show that cable TV companies raise rates an average of 4% every year! One alternative is satellite TV, but a third choice available in many areas is AT&T Uverse.

U-verse is the brand name product of a new technology being rolled out by AT&T.Basically, it can give you all of the same services that your cable television company can offer. Not only will you get digital quality video service including quite a bit of HD content, but you can also subscribe to high speed internet and of course your home phone line as well.A few years back, cable TV companies began to offer triple-play bundles which offered all three services together. That seemed to wake up phone companies like Verizon and AT&T, both of which now offer these same triple-play bundles.

So do the AT&T Uverse reviews compare well with your cable TV company?

Some side-by-side comparison shopping would probably be in order if you are looking at AT&T’s service. Generally, if you are a new customer you can strike a pretty good deal, especially if you want all three services. One thing to consider is that U-verse is brand new in many areas, so some customers have reported bugs in the video service. While cable TV companies have been at it for decades, AT&T is new to the video game. Take some time to look at some of the Uverse reviews out there before jumping into the service.

Overall, At&T U-verse may fit your needs if you are looking for an affordable option to cable TV. The first step is to see if it is even available to you, as the deployment of the service is taking several years.If not, there is still the option of going with one of the satellite TV companies if you are looking to dump your cable television company.
