ATT Internet < Cable internet

I dont know how you ATT internet people deal with it... Its sooooooooo slow, so slow in fact that I can't watch a youtube video without having to pause it so that it can cache the rest of the video so then I can watch it! SOOOOO Annoying!

Cable internet is leaps and bounds ahead of crappy *** ATT! BE WARNED!!!

Is this regular DSL or their U-Verse? I've been thinking of switching to U-Verse 12mb service. Anyone have experience to compare this to Comcast?

comcast is in fact better then att buuuuuuuut it depends on what youre using the net for :-D if youre using the net to stream things and such its comcast ftw but if youre just searching up things for school or just bored out of your mind, att should be fine.

Comcast Internet only in my neighborhood is $66/month for the slow speed (15 mb) and $99 / month for the 19 mbs. No TV, just Internet.

If you want a static IP (I do), it's $129 for 15 mbs (it used to be only $5/month more).

Comcast speed is not as consistent as DSL or Uverse. It is faster for downloading, but if what you like to do is click around web pages, then the ATT service is more consistent and feels faster...I've had both now using the worst service I've ever had...much worse than ATT though the speed is the same, 6mb.
