I currently live in AT&T service area. Just switched from cable (Cox) to AT&T Uverse. From what I hear, it is very similar to Verizon's FIOS. Both are transmitted via fiber. The quality of all services (tv, internet & phone) are outstanding. Although we own in TV, we will not move down for another couple of years. Hopefully, by then, one of these two fiber service providers will have access in TV. The quality is noticeably much better, but actually less expensive than cable. Oh, by the way, the customer service from AT&T has been great -doesn't sound like the old AT&T, does it?
