In some places it's fiber to the home, in most it's fiber to the curb.

Here's why I got rid of it (I had it for about 3 months, went through 3
replacement RG's, 4 replacement STBs, 2 replacement DVRs, 3 ports on the
DSLAM, 2 cards in the DSLAM):
- random, multi-day outages (and clueless techs)
- single HD stream only (and we've got lots of HDTV's)
- DVR is a joke
- HD quality is super poor, pixelated and unwatchable for sports

the SD quality was VERY good though and the internet portion was pretty good
when it was up.

If you value HDTV, then Uverse is not for you.

It was awesome when AT&T was saying there wasn't an outage in my area and if
I went outside, there were no less than 8 AT&T trucks on my small
residential street on service calls.

This is in the Frisco, TX area, BTW.
