AT&T U-Verse or Comcast for Internet Service?

If you “need it for regular Internet, to watch lecture webcasts, and the occasional You Tube video, maybe a Netflix occasionally,” this is sufficient:

UVHSI Pro
DL 3 Mbps, UL 512 Kbps
$38/mo reg, $19.95/mo promo for 1st 12 months


speedtest.net reports slightly better numbers than specs (about 10% better). My son’s usage is similar to yours, and he’s happy with AT&T.

The $100 gateway from AT&T is a modem + wireless N router combo. So the price is not excessive. I haven’t had a chance to test its wireless performance, but it works well in the apartment.

My son didn’t have to pay the “$49 one-time activation fee.”
