We are moving and our new place is setup for this service. We currently have DTV with TWC Cable Internet 100MB.

Probably getting Uverse 200 with 1GB internet and it will be cheaper than what I pay today (year 1), so I'm going to give it a whirl.

Is the Uverse HD PQ still considered inferior to DTV? That is my only concern at this point.

I love it. Just note that the 1GB is wired speed, which is great for grabbing an on demand HD movie or gaming. Over wireless, I had to buy a wifi adapter to connect to the 5ghz signal, but I get 300mb/s pretty consistently.

We just converted from U450 with 45M to 1G. I get 700M wired, and about 80M wireless right now, but that's because I'm limited by some crappy CAT5 cables. That will soon be fixed. Seems like a good product.

I'm hoping for a better price on a reasonable speed below gigabit. I wonder when it will make it to my neighborhood.

Which WiFi adapter? I'm assuming the default gateway only broadcasts 2.4ghz? Or your endpoint only picks up the 2.4?

Mine broadcasts in 2.4 & 5.0. I bought an adapter to get my laptop to pick up the 5.0 signal.

Glenn, is that you? You're still alive?

Gotcha. What was your motivation for switching bands? Can't imagine 2.4 at 100ish Mb would have been causing enough trouble to warrant dealing with an adapter on your pc.

Just me being an entitled turd, honestly. I had a guy from AT&T out that said I wasn't even supposed to be using the 5.0 band because it was actually planned for a new receiver to use for streaming HD and eventually 4K stuff.

we got them for internet only. I got around 800-825 MB over wired. (house is ethernet wired throughout with a handful of gigabit switches)

over AC wireless I get 250-300 MB down

Very pleased with the service/product and the people that installed it.

My gigabit gateway has a distinct high pitched whine to it. Has anyone else noticed this? The installer was a punk kid who shrugged it off and said they're all like that, but somehow I doubt it.

Got installed today. 950Mb down and about 920Mb up. Is there anything more unnecessary?

Ask for an 80211ac wireless router. Then you can get the 1 gig wired or wireless.

Just checked and it's a Pace 5268AC so it is 80211ac.

What router are you using then? I don't use theirs. I use a netgear nighthawk (7000 model). Do you have a speed test showing that fast? I mean you are going to have some form of lag/latency as you go from one server to your home PC I would think... as far as AC wireless are you able to have more than 1 client connection to your PC you are testing this on or?

Posted on the other gigabit thread....no, it does not. I'm only getting 20-40 mbps download on my mobile devices. How are you getting it?
