I must agree with you.  Ever since the company offered us a deal to switch from DSL to U-verse, the service has gone down hill. . . Slow speeds, disconnects randomly from our DVR's, can't stream due to the slow speed, etc.  I can only hope that switching to Comcast for my enternet provider will help me. 

I have talked to customer service several times (thats part of my orginal complaint in the orginal post) and their answer is always to upgrade (something I also mentioned in the orginal post).

Everyone I have talked to that has had any expirence with ATT uverse has already switched or wants to.

I was lied to from the begining. There was nothing about a contract for cable and I specificly asked about that. I did sign a one year contract for internet. I was offered a gift card and because I accepted that I am being told that I have to stay with both internet and cable for a year.

Me, my family, my friends, and everyone I can tell to go with another provider, will never use any services from ATT again.

I totally agreed with you. I am with ATT for 15 yeras. I have their 24 mbps internet services. I can sometimes get down to 5 mbps. So i called their services today, and expressed that i am really unhappy. She suggested me to move to 45 mbps which is supported in my area. However, my AT&T account will not allow her to swap equipment to support 45 mbps. They have to create a brand new account for me, and instead of being able to upgrade, i will be treated as a new customer, and will have to pay $99 dollars installation.  Their own app does not work. I am tired of AT&T. Comcast currently offers 150 mbps for $49.99. I am paying $59.99 for 24 mbps with ATT with a 20 dollars discount.  If they offer to install the 45 mbps modem free, i will consider to stay and checkout the 45 mbps performance.  Now I am switching for sure.  they are so short sighted and rather lose a customer for 99 dollars.

I totally agree! There customer service reps are liars and don't note anything to the accounts that they say. The internet connection for netflix only works late night or real early morning. So a family movie night is out of the question!! They charged me a re connect fee and charges for my service when it never ever was diconnected or late fee, so I cslled and they said well thsts what your account says and there is nothing I can do about it, so then I ask to talk to manager and she says well i can take away the late fee but not reconnect fee I was like [word filter avoidance] No! Lol.. then I say I want to end my service she says ok but I have to transfer you then they hang up, so I call back ask to disconnect service and tell them dont put me on hold just stay on the line until I get a person she say ok then transfers me to the Que again so now I'm [word filter avoidance] I call again and get the Phillipines rep who actually spoke english well and I tell her the story snd actually cancels the whole bill. Yay!! But trust me this is the only time it has worked out At&t is so scantless promise visa cards then changes the amounts after you complain you have not received them I mean the list goes on and on. Tricked me into changing from the original phone service to uverse and Its been a nightmare ever since. I'm so done!

To disconnect ATT service, you have to call during regular business hours (eastern to pacific time zones) and either ask for retentions, or say, I want to cancel my service.

The number is the main one for everything ATT, 1-800-288-2020.

Sad thing, but EVERY customer service rep is trained (and alas, actually a job requirment) to make three (or more) upsale attempts during the course of any service call.

They probably like it as little as you do, but like I said, their job kinda depends on it.

And, it is no secret, the over seas call centers who answer after hours, are litteraly only reading from a script.

The chat live now tends to be a little better than the overseas call center, but one must keep in mind, the person responding to chat may have as many as twenty other chat windows open, the same time they are "talking" to you.

Anyways, good luck, and good life.

These forums are filled with similar complaints and similar responses by ATT. I don't think they intend to ever provide what they promised to provide at the rate they promised.

We as consumers need to force a change somehow. I plan on paying htem the amount I was promised fro service while I am looking for alternative service.

I have been with ATT as long as I can remeber, 30 plus years and it appears they are now no longer interested in customer service or any form of integrity.

Time for a change! 

My suggestion is to avoid AT&T.  My community is boycotting all their services.

It also doesn't help that they drive everyone else out of town, FORCING you to "choose" AT&T for internet/tv/phone/everything, and then since they KNOW you have no alternative, they provide the WORST service possible to save THEM money.  I have an "elite" package, meaning I get at MOST SIX mbps, which is TEN MBPS BEHIND BLEEDING ESTONIA.  They provide worse service than a former member of the Soviet UNION.  Further, they automate their stupid tech support lines, so I have to wait TEN minutes, including the inevitable hold time, after wading through a robot sorting system that ADVERTISES THEIR OTHER NONSENSE SERVICES AND WASTES MORE OF YOUR TIME.  AND they outsource their tech support.  MEXICANS aren't stealing jobs; CORPORATIONS are blackmarket SELLING our jobs to other countries, and they don't even check to make sure they speak understandable English.  I  speak several foreign languages and I'm good with accents, so if *I* can't understand the English of the tech support workers, I shudder to think how infuriating it must be for other people.  But AT&T doesn't care.  They know we have no other options, and that means they have the luxury of not caring.  I hope everyone who works for AT&T gets cancer.  You may say "Oh, you don't mean that!" No.  I do.  I literally hope they die from cancer and it hurts and takes a LONG time, and their families have to watch and it hurts and causes them AWESOME psychic pain.  I hate AT&T.  They're horrible, and if it weren't for the fact they were rich enough to pay off our crooked congressmen, they wouldn't be ALLOWED to operate their business in such a crooked, corrupt way.
