Saw an ad for AT&T U-Verse last week and inquired about service. Guess it is a fiber optic offering similar to Verizon's FIOS. The rates for bundled packages looked pretty good from both companies compared to what we are paying EMBARQ for local service , AT&T for Long Distance and Comcast for Hi Def TV and High Speed Internet. Unfortunately these packages are not available in TV because of the monopoly franchises given to EMBARQ and Comcast. Too bad.

I think we would all benefit if EMBARQ and Comcast had some competition.
