&T

Perhaps you have grown weary of ever increasing cable television bills showing up in your mailbox every month. That wouldn’t be surprising, as statistics show that cable TV companies raise rates an average of 4% every year! One alternative is satellite TV, but a third choice available in many areas is AT&T Uverse.

U-verse is the brand name product of a new technology being rolled out by AT&T.Basically, it can give you all of the same services that your cable television company can offer. Not only will you get digital quality video service including quite a bit of HD content, but you can also subscribe to high speed internet and of course your home phone line as well.A few years ago, cable companies began to offer triple-play bundles which offered all three services together. That seemed to wake up phone companies like Verizon and AT&T, both of which now offer these same triple-play bundles.

So do the reviews of ATT U-verse compare well with your cable TV company?

Some side-by-side comparison shopping would probably be in order if you are looking at AT&T’s service. Generally, if you are a new customer you can strike a pretty good deal, especially if you want all three services. One thing to consider is that U-verse is brand new in many areas, so some customers have reported bugs in the video service. While cable TV companies have been at it for decades, AT&T is new to the video game. Take some time to look at some of the AT&T Uverse reviews out there before jumping into the pool.

Overall, U-verse may fit your needs if you are looking for an affordable option to cable. The first step is to see if it is even available to you, as the deployment of the service is taking several years. If not, there is still the option of going with one of the satellite TV companies if you are looking to dump your cable TV company.

Ever since the invention of the television, it has been the top media channel in the modern world. In the United States alone, there are millions of people who rely on television for both information from news and entertainment from daily scheduled programming. Today, a popular method of TV broadcasting is done via cable networks.

Cable television or CATV was commonly used in mountainous regions where broadcast signals are weak, so they used coaxial cables to broadcast television programming. Today, it is a common television service and in the United States there are a lot of cable providers to choose from. Unfortunately though in most areas, you will just have one cable TV company serving your area, so if you want something different, you will have to go with satellite TV. This is not always a bad thing, its a good idea to line up the companies side by side, comparing Comcast or DirecTV.

The top cable company in the United States is Comcast, it is by far the company with the most subscribers. It also offers internet service and is currently in second place and fourth place in providing telephone service. However, they have a reputation for having some of the worst customer service among any company or government agency in the United States. Next is the Cox cable company which is owned by Cox enterprises. They have nearly 6 million subscribers to their cable service, internet and phone service. They are currently the third largest cable company in the country. The third largest in terms of revenue is Charter TV company. In terms of revenue, they are behind only from Timewarner and Comcast. Then we have Bright House cable which is the sixth largest cable TV company. Most of these companies now also offer home telephone service.

Many are satisfied with the Comcast basic cable packages, however if these do not catch your fancy you can also turn to satellite TV companies like Dishnetwork who also provides high definition or HD service for those who want it. The only problem being it is sometimes difficult to get satellite TV in your condo
