So far I like it. :dunno:

Haven't noticed the internet being slow at all. Didn't realize they have the wireless router covered...so my personal one isn't needed anymore :thumbs:

I kind of miss not being able to just hook up a tv to any random coax jack in the house.
Also their channel order takes a while to get used to.

I think i got the UV300 tv package. I noticed i don't have CBS college sports like i think i should have.

Double check they have fiber running to your house...really makes things easy if they do.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

The wireless router that they provide is pretty shitty speed wise though.  I bought a new one and hardwired it.  I run all of my internet and networking needs (streaming HD movies around the house) through the new router.  The only thing that runs through the 2WIRE router (wirelessly) is the TV.

Just my $.02

so I think I will try UVERSE for a week, and then CANCEL THE LOSER OF THIS CONTEST

I plan on putting the cox on one input and the uverse on the other and then toggling back and forth on the same channel to evaluate picture quality.

Wow congrats. Surewest finally came to Fairway and broke the TW monopoly. They offered better stuff at about half what I was paying TW. I called TW and they said to bring the boxes in ASAP.
