No uverse or directtv available downtown. :-( I'm stuck with Time Warner. Also, anyone want to sell me a used flat screen that you don't need anymore? I'm in the market for buying one.

Maybe if you wear your Brandon Rush t-shirt a few more times someone will buy you one as a present?

You should be getting Google Fiber soon though right?

Has anyone threatened to cancel their cell phone plan and gotten a discount? Thinking about trying this in November when my 2 year contract is up

don't think it really works. About all they do is give you an upgrade if you commit to 2 more years.

My wife just dumped Sprint and went to Virgin Mobile ....Sprint's network, only $30/mo unlimited text/data/300 minutes

48 hour review:

I really rough ridin' miss the clock on the front of the cox box! WHAT TIME IS IT!?!?

I can tell a difference in the picture. It looks just slightly "soft" and seems to have more saturated colors. This is no doubt an effect of the compression. Its still plenty good enough and plenty worth it for the extra advantages.

Whole home DVR is awesome.

Internet seems fast enough. It says 12 Mbps and I get 12. Not like cox where it says 24 and I get 6-18. Upload is way WAY slower than cox, about 1 Mbps, but I am more of a consumer than a generator so no big deal to me.

I did notice with one other TV, the dvr, and the wife blazing through pinterest, Netflix on the big tv would periodically pop out of super HD. This might be my smart TV's dumb wireless connection though, so more testing in required.

lots of channels and lots of HD channels. way more sensible channel packages than cox if you get the U200 compared to the cox equivalent. Cox making you choose the channel tiers always pissed me off.

The channel guide is faster and more useful than cox's.

I'm probably going to keep the uverse for the 12 months promotional price at least.

Yeah the no clock on the box sucks, I had to go out and buy a clock for our living room. How do you see what internet speed you are getting?

Have you watched any football or baseball yet? For me, the PQ difference b/w uVerse and Surewest was night and day, but maybe I'm just picky. I also heard that Cox blows, so that could be part of it.

Putting a dish on your house looks super rough ridin' trashy.

puniraptor · « **Reply #121 on:** July 23, 2013, 12:19:38 PM »

Haven't seen any sports yet. That's my next test. poor cats performance would be a deal breaker.

Emo, not sure if you were talking about dishes in general or are under the impression that uverse is satellite? Just in case, you should know that uverse is DSL based through your phone line and needs no dish.
