Don't think it's on any of our U-Verse channels. Is it as good as the American version?^

Off topic: has AT&T tried to overbill you on your UVerse service? - Jazz Inmate 20:02:42 08/19/13 (7)
I have had the worst time with AT&T over the past 6 months. We moved into our house in March and my old phone/internet provider did not offer service here. AT&T offered to waive their setup charges and give us a good deal for U-verse phone/internet, so I agreed to go with them. Since then it's been a nightmare of overbilling, double billing and each time I try to get it rectified, they charge me an exorbitant setup fee that was supposed to be waived in the first place. Today I got a bill for $200 and was on the phone with them for another hour. Is this normal?

- yes they say this and bill you that and always an excuse, you do need to call them and get a lower deal - PhilJ 14:30:32 08/20/13 (1)
  they usually offer a 6 month rate drop.
  
  I have had pretty good luck with service, internet speed is stable and channels do not drop out on TV
  
  When I had the old receiver it was a different story - problems galore
  
  It is necessary to get the newest receiver to get good quality service.
  
  I really hate the remote control, press the button once and it sends two signals, super frustrating!!!

  We switched from Comcast to U-Verse. They sent one of their most experienced installers and he spent about 6 hours doing the wire-up. It failed almost immediately. After several abortive attempts, we got it running properly.
  
  Then the overcharges and double-billing started. I spent many, many frustrating hours trying to get it rectified. In the end, we blew them away and came back to Comcast.
  
  It still isn't as good as I would like, but at least I got some of my life back.
  
  My very best experience with providers was with Verizon in Washington, DC. Their FIOS service was lightning fast and they did the job right the first time. I wish So. Fla. would let Verizon compete for our dollars...

    That's terrible. Have you ever filed a complaint against AT&T with the BBB or some other consumer group? I'm getting fed up with them.

    - I suppose I could lodge complaints with the usual entities... - rlw 09:13:31 08/23/13 (0)
      But I really have many more important things to do with the 24 hours I'm allotted each day. I get back at AT&T by proselytizing against them with friends, clients, etc. and by vowing to never send another dollar their way.
      
      And I have sung Verizon's praises for their FIOS service. It is a damn shame that throughout the US, cable cos. and such have been able to restrict competition by buying off the politicians in each jurisdiction. But hey, that's been the way of world since man touched the Monolith and gained self-awareness...

- No, but, price creep has been an issue. I usually call em once a year or so and tell em I'm gonna cancel - Road Warrior 20:45:53 08/19/13 (1)
  They then drop their rates. Last time I got a rate drop and an internet speed increase. Good luck with getting yer billing issues straightened out.

    I think it's straightened out for the next year but will have to wait for the next bill to be sure.
