the AT&T TV service will is a bit different from regular cable TV, they don't offer anywhere near the number of channels as cable.....you can see their entire channel listing HERE

that would be the FIOS service, and yes, it is WAY faster than either cable or DSL.....and for a decent price, too. i can't get FIOS yet, but i will be among the first to switch when/if it ever becomes available in my area. i'm currenly on Verizon DSL at 3Mbit/sec, and it's done me good so far.....been using them for almost 2 years, and have only had 1 or 2 outages, and they didn't even last that long. but a lot of that will depend on the condition of the phone lines in your area, as well as how far away you are from the Central Office.

for the FIOS service, check out the FIOS Page

Very simple.






Call them and find out for yourself.

LeadfootDuramax, that sucks man. I would have waited, called back, and spoke with someone else. I'm sure you may have had better luck the 2nd time around.

02Z28LS1, I already have a 6MBPS. I was bringing it to the table that Comcast offers an 8MBPS. 6 is the highest AT&T offers. How would my connection not support a certain speed? (not doubting, just curious)

aggiez28, you should call to see what they can do before making the switch. I'm not trying to promote Comcast, but if they'll work with you, then why not. It would be a different story on my end if they did nothing about my bill. To answer your 2nd post, $33 for the internet, $33 for the cable, $3 for the modem, $5 for the digital box, and $7.95 for the sports bundle. All those prices are discounted except the sports bundle. If they offered you $84 for digital cable and 6MBPS internet, what's wrong with that? In order to have digital cable, you have to have the digital box. How many do you have? I think regularly, those boxes are $7 each.

because comcast is cable and AT&T is DSL. completely different technologies. comcast goes over the cable tv lines, and DSL uses a phone line. DSL is limited more by the length of the cable going from the central office to your house than cable is.

if you're on the outer limit of the length that DSL can support (i think it's somewhere around 14k feet, or close to 3 miles), you may not be able to get the highest speed and have it be stable. they may start you out at 6Mbit/sec, but if your connection keeps dropping repeatedly, they may have to downgrade you to a slower speed that will be more stable.

I did call them, they would not give me a much better deal.they offered to reduce my existing service from 105 to 84. I got an HD TV and will need a HD box and they said it would be an extra 12.95 or so. and then theres the fees and taxes on that. so its still going to be over $100

I am going to call back tomorrow and see if someone else can do better.
