Att is going to be more consistent. they have a better network than any cable company. However, cable has faster speeds at the moment, but it’s mostly burst speeds. I think there is much greater potential from the telecom offerings, but their rollout of new stuff is still a bit rocky at the moment. The equipment they provide at this time is an embarrassment, but it does do what it’s supposed to do no less and certainly no more.
I don’t know what you were tole about the speedstreme. I looked at the specs and it is an old ADSL modem. I’m sure you can use the router in some faction, but there is no way the modem can be used with the new dsl technology. And, the pwreson you talk to on the phone is hardly ever a real tech. It has been my experience that they actually know very little. The person who would come to your door is a tech and many times they will leave you there contact info so you can avoid phone support all to geather.

Now I’ll look at the other info. What this all hedges on is if Comcast is interested in making it’s service more consistent or not. I won’t even go into Comcast customer service. All I really want is a service that is consistent and comes as close as possible to providing what they say they will. However, none of the ISPs guarantee anything. Oh yea, another thing. A tech at AT&T said that my SpeedStream 5360 would work with my router on u-verse, but I kind of doubt it. That’s why I’m examining all I can before making any moves. > On Feb 26, 2015, at 9:02 AM, Barry Hadder <bhad...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Well, I don’t see it as surrender exactly, rather as picking my battles.
