Most of my neighborhood is already using U-Verse and I have not
noticed any increase in noise levels.  Assuming the same happens
if/when I install it in my own home I'll be happy.

I wish DSL modems and routers were my biggest RFI problems.  They're
nothing compared to the S9 powerline noise I get whenever temperatures
climb above about 80 degrees F.  I've been trying to get it fixed for
2 years!
