David called at 8:30 AM this morning, to come over to check all exterior cabling, and trace the signal from the block box to the house, and to take bandwidth measurements in insure everything was set for the interior installer on Wednesday.

After a few checks, a brand new external junction box, and a walk down the street to verify distance (500ft to block box); everything checks out. I measure in at 65MB total upgradeable available bandwidth, currently set to 25 MB down, 2MB up to my house.

David was top notch, and we are the absolute 1st uVerse customers in our neighborhood, so I’ve got a bit of a warm fuzzy thus far, especially since my history with AT&T is a bit tainted.
Tune back in on Wednesday for a full update on the uVerse installation experience. I’ll try to snap a few pictures too.
woot!
PS – It’s nice to see that AT&T sent out a real AT&T tech, instead of a contractor. Not sure if the is common with uVerse, but it was the first thing I noticed.
