50% OFF COX cable services!!!

[patric]

U-verse will most likely replace our DSL, but I still get the most bang-for-the buck with DirecTV for my television.
Would love to see FiOS (fiber direct to the home) but I think Verizon is only offering that in a few markets.

There will be some fibre-optic Lightspeed connections to 'premises,' but I do not know the premises under which that will be deployed.

I have not had any major issues with Cox services, but I am still using the same digital receiver from about six years ago and paying full price.  As a consumer it concerns me that Cox will lower their prices and offer upgrades only in the face of losing a customer. I am glad there will be choice for my media services at a comparable price with enhanced features.

Take your receiver into any cox store and they will swap it out for the latest no questions asked as long as you've had it for six months.

That is good to know.  I still may stay with Cox once we move, I do not know if U-verse is available at the new hacienda or not.  The coverage areas should be available sometime later this month for July installations.

Wake me up when Verizon Fios comes to town. I had AT&T and will not go back. My DSL was terrible and I had it from day 1 it was offered here. My cable modem is 3x as fast at least.

The bundle from Cox is a great deal. Cheers to Sgrizzle for giving us the real facts.

1 tuner DVR? Please. That's so 2000.

I really can't complain about the quality of Cox's service since I upgraded to digital and added internet service last fall, but I do feel like $82 is a lot for the basic digital and whatever their supposed highest bandwidth internet is (still doesn't seem much faster than DSL at work).  No, I didn't "bundle-up" as I don't see the point in a land-line anymore other than at work.  I don't have an HD TV so that's not such a big deal to me.

Tim, tell me you didn't sell your Brookside digs to some a-hole who is going to build (yet) another Tuscan nightmare on the lot.

Too early to say about the Tuscan thang Conan but it looks like the hacienda stays! Hoo-ray!

U-verse will be available for demo purposes at the Highland Plaza at&t store on 41st/Hudson and at the Owasso store.  If it is not clearer and better than cable, do not get it.  Pretty simple. Hard to make the case that copper is faster and better than fibre optic, but cheers for the effort! Better compression technology means more content, period.

Cannot wait for the feature where viewers will be able to choose which camera angle they want to view sports broadcasts from!

We have ATT U-Verse down here in hell-hot Texas and it's fantastic. I DO NOT like the DLS they offer though; I have the equivalent of Cox up in Oklahoma for my ISP (Charter Cable). But as far as the television part goes, it's fantastic.

Last I checked, Cox was primarily fiber to the drop.  Good try on trying to sell that U-verse is all fiber-to-the-home, though.  More like to the node.

UPDATE: AT&T's website's U-verse eligibility checker is now working.  Click on 'ADVANCED TV' and foller the links.  The product should now be available at the Highland Plaza store (5505 E 41st).  Also, Cox would price-match the new service costs but not offer a flat 50% off.  I did notice that at&t is offering up to $300 incentives for new activations online, sooooo . . .

Here's what I get:

At this time, AT&T U-verse service is not available for this address

I did find it would be $124 for cable and internet, +$10 for HD +$30 for better internet +$15 for three extra receivers. So I'm at $179 and don't even have phone service yet. Whipee.

There is a sign at the 14th and Lewis AT&T store saying that "U-Verse" is available there.

I should have said 'Highland has a live demo.' Terrace Park (15th St) can help you order it but I do not think they have a live demo; Owasso is another location that offers a real-time experience for U-verse.  All the at&t stores will have nice booklets and - for folk outside the U-verse coverage area - Dish Network demos going on.

[sgrizzle]

One would think a half mile from the store would be in the service territory.

Okay, someone give me the Reader's Digest version.

Sounds like for $84 I can have more channels, a DVR, claimed faster internet speed, and an HD reciever.

That's better than what I get from Cox now for about the same price with tax.

Does this include a land line charge in the $84 as well?  I'm too ADHD to read all the fine print on their web site.

Personally I couldn't give two ****s about having a land line.  If it's included in the price, I doubt I'd even plug a phone into the jack.
