U verse television going away
I was in Sam's Club a couple of days ago and the Direct TV vultures ( sales reps ) approached me as they always do when I go to Sam's. I gave them my standard response that I am a retiree of AT&T and already receive a discount on Uverse television. HOWEVER ! This time the rep said they had received information that very morning that Uverse television is going away the first of 2018. That caught my attention so I went back and talked to him , he was adamant that Uverse was going away even after I questioned him repeatedly.
My question is this : IS Uverse going away ? If it is why have the customers not been notified ?
If Uverse IS NOT going away, who can I contact with AT&T to let them know the contractors they have hired to sell Direct television are lying to people ?

This question has come up so many times in these forums. Just search for similar threads. And it's almost always the result of DTV resellers in stores repeating the same old sales pitch.
UVerse is not going away any time soon. The "name" might be changed, the equipment might change to some common form for both DTV and Uverse, but the uverse forms of delivery (IPTV) are not going away. That's why you haven't been contacted. And given the number of posts on this subject by now you can be certain ATT knows what's going on. Obviously they don't care. The more folks ATT can convince to go over to DTV the better. After all they need to justify the expense of buying DTV to their shareholders!
