On Sunday, the technician from AT&T came to install U-Verse in our home. He got there around 9 a.m and finished around 3:30. He first began his installation by rewiring many aspects of our house. From the basement he accessed the splitter to which he made modifications to fit AT&T’s proper wiring.

After he finished this, he installed the new Gateway modem to our computer which is connected to downstairs, and controls everything in the house from internet, to t.v, to the phones. Finally, he installed all three digital boxes to each t.v, and the special bigger DVR box to our t.v in the basement. Everything was installed smoothly, and set up and ready to go!

My first impression when I turned on the t.v was “Wow! what great quality!” The picture is really stunning, and when on HD channels, the picture is just phenomenal. The channels changed instantly, I can see what programs are on other channels and watch that channel in a small box at the bottom while still on another main channel. The guide is great, there is a complete video store with new releases, and all kinds of movies that you can buy right on your tv. Did I mention that the t.vs are connected to the internet through the gateway modem and you can even play yahoo games on your t.v! After that I got onto my computer, and really noticed no difference with the internet. Everything seemed as fast as Optimum, and even at some times seemed more responsive, and quicker. Overall I am very happy with AT&T U-Verse, and I think that if AT&T is made available in your area you should take a look at it because they really have a great service to offer.
