[RFI] U-Verse

[jimk8mr at aol.com]

I've had uVerse, TV/phone/internet, for several years. RF on 20 meters had been quite bad at freezing things up. A month or two back, due to some on demand video issues, AT&T replaced the old equipment with an Arris NVG589 modem. This us an all in one box, no more outside/inside multiple units.


With some ferrite on the cables to this box (added on general principle) it has seemed to be better than the previous.equipment. Only downside is that if you get a power hit, it takes about two minutes for everything, telephone included, to reboot. I have on my things to do list to add a battery backup to get around this issue.

I have dealt with AT&T re DSL and U-Verse only to receive a different 
level of
unsatisfaction.

Against my own better wishes, I went with Comcast. To this
date, as of 3 
years ago, it has been bulletproof and fast,  not a (service)
blip since 
day one.
