We never had Uverse TV part just the internet when they came to our area in the fall of 2008. So fiber is close and the two surrounding suburbs are having fiber installed. I keep praying we get it next. But this is ATT. We could use the speed when my daughter’s are home from college for the summer.
My MIL had Uverse TV and I reconnected her back to her outdoor antenna. She kept the fiber internet and cut the $100 part for the TV. She got fiber in 2017ish.
My options are limited. I don’t have access to fiber optics from AT&T or Earthlink. Verizon and T Mobile are not available to me. AT&T offers 100 mbps for $70/month.
I found out my options are limited, I renegotiated my Spectrum internet with 500mbps for $85. I dropped Spectrum TV after fighting off their repackaging offers for a half hour. That’s the best I can do for now.
Bottom line is Tablo saved me $80 month on the TV. I re-negotiated Internet from $95 for 400mbps to $85 for 500mbps. I’m stuck with Spectrum for Internet until a competitive Internet service becomes available. We need fiber in my subdivision for that to happen.
Ya, those bundles are their bread and butter to get you in their system, then they stick it to you. When you leave they become rabid to get you back.
So… I’m also in a Tablo 4, Roku, Spectrum situation. Everything actually works well!
Cutout Spectrum TV content and negotiated internet only “deal” with them last April (an extremely painful process). It sounds like I’m paying about $15 less than you for same 500 Mbs BUT AT&T fiber is already run to my door, so I had some leverage there.
Dreading renegotiating with Spectrum in next month or so. I may very well go with AT&T.
We got some wind here in Oak Creek, WI, gusts of 30mph. Sure enough, abc and cbs were breaking up like crazy. They were unwatchable. Out of desperation I tried moving the mudflap antenna up to the top of the window, only about 2’ higher.
It worked! How can 2 feet of higher elevation make such a big difference? Picture is beautiful and stable.
I believe such broadcast signals bounce up and down off the topography and atmosphere, if I remember my high school classes correctly. So I think the higher the antenna, the more open to the sky it is and thus the more signal it will receive.
