AT&T buys Direct tv for 48 billion dollars

[itsyoung!!]

£ versus $

you right, I read that wrong..



also as far as AT&T and Direct TV goes

AT&T U-Verse is by far the best TV provider

the problem with U-verse is not their TV. Its their internet. Its one of the worst..

You need to get the 45 mb/s down speed just to get to 6 mb/s upload speed

if you are under 20 mb/s down.. your upload will be cappated at 1.5 mb/speed

how is that legal

almost everyone else offers at least 20+% upload to download speed.. except uverse

i got ATT for phone and internet, it isn't the fastest but it's reliable and i've never gotten a letter from them about copyright shyt they pretty much let you do whatever you want

i don't see why they get a bad rep

AT&T sucks, UVerse sucks, their netspeeds suck, their customer service sucks, fukk them

Nope uverse TV is trash. Their internet is actually pretty good for the price assuming to get it BY ITSELF. I used to have a TV/internet combo but always suffered from slow internet speeds. Once I cancelled the TV and switched to direct tv, my uverse internet is blazing fast now. Also the router that Uverse uses is complete garbage and has shytty range. I actually hooked up a Cisco Small business grade router to my Uverse router and now have greatly improved internet speeds and range.

Direct TV definitely has the best TV packages, but they're expensive. Their HD selection is outstanding though.

HAHAHAHA, my boy said that one of their reps was trying to sell him on switching from Comcast to UVerse Internet. He's getting 100mbps right now with Comcast and this idiot is telling him that 20mbps would be faster because it's a direct connection



They're the worst. If you're a power user as far as the internet goes, don't even bother with UVerse, don't even consider them.

maybe cause I live on westcoast but u-verse the only provider out here that provides both west coast and east channels

comcast was all east coast times and didnt have most of the channels like TBS etc on west coast times

so basically if you had comcast and lived in the bay and your TV show was scheduled for 8 pm.. you had to watch it at 5

but with u-verse most of the major channels (tnt/tbs etc) have east and west coast channels

plus way better sports package on u-verse than comcast

direct TV is only better for sports but their on demand is easily the worst and the regular channels/service sucked

all this talk about comcast/directtv/uverse got me thinkin where the fukk is Dish TV

directv down in premarket trading. the market is probably sketpical this will even pass antitrust laws.

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Shouldnt be any Anti-trust issues here... they completely different businesses... AT&T only dapples in TV ...

 

[Rekkapryde]

shyt should be illegal.

Where's Teddy Roosevelt when you need him

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Funny .. they broke up AT&T only to see them form 4 companies, have them merge again later (little by little) and now have them buy Directv and be more powerful than the original company that was forced to break-up ..

This could end the NFL Sunday Ticket exclusivity

Only good that will come out of this hopefully.

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

This could end the NFL Sunday Ticket exclusivity

looks like ATT wants it to remain exclusive to DTV .. or and uverse
