Uverse Update

I am very pleased with Uverse since we increased our internet speed from 1.5 MBS to 18 MBS. The internet is obviously faster, and I am taking full advantage of the free HBO.

The biggest difference, though, is with Apple TV. Before, it was taking 4-24 hours to download a rented movie from Apple TV. It litteraly wouldn't even let you start watching the movie until it was mostly downloaded, which as noted, took hours. Now I can rent a movie, and watch it immediately. Prior to this I was convinced Apple TV was a shit product. Why would I pay to rent a movie and wait so long? I could rent a movie from Uverse and start watching it right away, same with Netflix streaming. But now I understand to download a 1080 movie you simply need fast internet.

I was strongly considering going back to DirecTV or even testing out the dreaded Comast, but for now I am happy with Uverse.

In addition, the idea of a wireless TV received is incredible. Why was this feature not available years ago?
