I am not in Carlsbad, I live in MM, but I have had both TWC and ATT. I have ATT now and I wouldnt go back. They had trouble putting in all in, it doesnt run through your cable so it isnt just “flip the switch” but once it was on it kicks ass.

Weird how it is differnt for everyone.

BTW CardiffBaseball,

I should mention that with ATT-uverse do don’t need to get any phone service either with uverse nor with traditional ATT phone service. (With just DSL, you need to get phone service too).

However, you *might* want to get a regular (stripped) phone service for emergencies/reverse 911/local calls. The trick is that you just request ATT to provide you a regular phone line with NO long distance access, NO call waiting, NO unlimited local calls. You can get your ATT phone line bill down to $10/month. You can still make local calls, and they don’t cost extra up to a set allocation of total # of calls and total # of mins, beyond which you start paying minute by minute. However, if you rarely use the land line, you won’t need to worry about going over your local minutes.

Thanks all and Flu that might be a good option because 911 access for $120 a year isn’t bad. Also I assume incoming calls too you really don’t want to route all the forms you fill out for this or that to a cell phone.

From researching ATT, I assume I wouldn’t need my wireless router any more? One comes with the Residential Gateway. Of course you can use the router as a switch.

Since this is a rental I am not sure how much fishing of wires these guys will do. If they’ll run you a connection to bedrooms is that for the set top box only? Or could you run a PC in that room with a wired connection? I like to stream movies and it would be nice to get all of that on a wired connection.

Also my kids use Xbox Live, is that working out pretty well (for anyone who has ATT+XboxLive). It’s been fine on Cox but I have it connected to directly to my router.
