Thanks for getting back. Yes all devices are impacted. More info is available on the laptops but the rest of the devices just show they cannot connect. I have live chatted and a tech will be out tomorrow but since this is intermittent, I do not have high hopes.

Internet is extremely slow and taking up to 30 minutes to to access a webpage only to lose service and have to begin all over again. I need to faster service or I am switching providers. This Internet is not good if you are in school.

This Uverse internet really sucks. I think I'm going to cancel it. I got it to reduce my data useage on my phone but my phone is way faster. Why are they calling this high speed anyway.

ATT has continuall disappointed my entire neighborhood with Pathetically slow Internet speeds in our neighborhood (0.6-1.6 Mbps) in the zip code 37871 area. The ruse on all this is ATT continues to label this a U-Verse when in fact it is nothing more than DSL. Our neighborhood is populated with professionals who depend on 10-15 Mbps or greater speeds for their professional as well as personal use but having lived in Houston (20-33 Mbps), I find this lack of attention to the needs of their customers deploable to say the least. Personally I cannot download movies from their business partner without the system "timing out" due to slow internet speeds including those from ATT's business partner Direct TV. The slow speeds are the maximum they offer in our neighborhood so this is not about the cost of a subscription.

My internet has been going out for weeks now! For hours at a time. Someone was supposed to come out and never showed up! This is ridiculous! It's not connecting to broadband. I have done all I can possibly do on my end but AT&T has failed on their end. I'm feed up and very disappointed. Didn't have this problem early on. I go through trouble shooting and schedule appointment, then my son who is away for army training talked to someone on the chat and supposedly the next evening a tech was coming out. Which never showed and yes all this was already happening before hurricane Matthew!!!!! So we have been without internet ALL morning so far today! Just great! Way to go AT&T!

I lost the internet connections about 6pm PT today March 27, 2017, I unplugged the modem/uverse router wait for 10 min then plug it on. After a few minutes all the lights turned green BUT STILL NO INTERNET CONNECTIONS. I called up the AT&T people for help but informed me to call them the next day. I tried 3 different numbers and called the technician's number but only voicemail answered. This is the very first time that it happened to us. 

Hoping that the AT&T people will do something to reconnect my internet. The billing is near approaching again.

I lost the internet connections about 6pm PT today March 27, 2017. I tried to contact AT&T personnel/technicians to inform them about my problem.  I tried the unplugged and plug solutions which I did before back home. Unplugging for 10 seconds then plug it again, after a few minutes all the lights turned green BUT STILL NO INTERNET CONNECTIONS.  How is this happen? I tried to connect to all the phones I have recorded in case of trouble but told me to wait till the next day.

Hope that you (AT&T people / technicians) will do something to reconnect my internet (internet & phone).

For AT&T to call themselves a television provider is a joke. It is a perfect day, no wind, sunny, could not ask for a better day. I am watching Meet The Press and the signal has been lost 7 times!!! Provider, I think not!
