FAQ’s on U-Verse Service
A third choice is now available in many areas of the country when it comes to cable TV. While in the past you either had to go with whatever local cable company was in the area, or one of the satellite providers, now you may be able to get AT&T U-verse services in your neighborhood.Let’s look at a few of the FAQ’s on AT&T U-verse.
Does AT&T U-verse require a satellite dish to be installed?
No. AT&T is deploying fiber to the node, or FTTN technology to most of the major areas it serves. This fiber is deployed to a large serving terminal in each area, then the existing copper lines deliver the signal the rest of the way to your home. No satellite dish is needed, only the necessary receiving equipment is needed inside. So U-verse is actually more like cable TV than satellite. Sign up for the AT&T digital video recorder and your entertainment setup is just like cable TV
What kind of specials is AT&T offering with U-verse?
These of course change from time to time.Current deals generally match what cable TV companies offer for triple play bundles of voice, video and high speed internet. Usually, you can get all of these services for about 0 a month for the first year. Sometimes the promotional price can go for as long as a year, but check with AT&T for the current offer.
How quick is the AT&T U-verse download speed?
There are several levels of service. The slowest level from AT&T is the U-verse Express, which is 1.5 Mbps, and the highest is the Max18 service, which tops out at 18 Mbps, great for downloading video content. As you probably expect AT&T U-verse rates differ based on the level of service.
What are some of the features of the digital home phone service?
The AT&T Voice unlimited plans include all of the local and long distance calling. Other features include voice mail, call waiting and call forwarding service. So if AT&T is your local phone company, a quick internet search or phone call can alert you to the availability of U-verse. If it is not yet available, you can still bundle your video service with AT&T with one of their Direct TV deals.
