That's right TV can go down the trash. U-Verse is basically a Streaming program. It Streams basically TV channels and almost everything. So basically paying for Cable or whatever, but on a computer. Which is alot of people have, I had never watched TV for I don't know 2 years now.

We've been seeing AT&T paying a good deal of attention to its U-Verse service as of late, and it looks like those efforts are paying off for the company. In its third quarter earnings announced today, AT&T confirmed that the service has now topped ten million subscribers (up from 9.4 million in the previous quarter), and that it is the fastest-growing part of its business, now generating $1 billion in revenue per month.

The company's wireless business is also continuing to grow, albeit at a more modest rate, with revenue up 5.1 percent year-over-year as it added 1 million net subscribers during the quarter. Not surprisingly, more of those customers are choosing smartphones than ever. According to the carrier, they represented a record 89 percent of its postpaid phone sales for the quarter, while its total number of new smartphone subscribers stood at of 1.2 million (including current customers who've upgraded).

It's still AT&T, though. From their crappy phone service to terrible DSL, I am sticking to my I will avoid AT&T commitment.

same, plus I hate the idea of subscribing to what is basically cable online. I'll stick with Hulu and Netflix and a certain swashbuckling site for my media purposes.
