When we moved to Florida, we signed up for TV service from DirecTV and phone and DSL service all through BellSouth (now AT&T).
Recently, AT&T U-Verse has become available where we live and AT&T has been spending gobs of money sending us cards and letters and books trying to convince us that we’ll finally experience life-fulfilling prophecy if we dump DirecTV and the ‘traditional AT&T services’ for the new all-in-one AT&T U-Verse service.
So, I decided to do a little comparison.
Currently, this is what we pay…
DirecTV
Total Choice Plus (old package) : $55
2 Additional Receivers : $10
BellSouth Customer Savings : -$10
Taxes : $8
BellSouth
Unlimited Local & Long Distance : $43
BellSouth Customer Savings : -$15
DSL: $43 (6 Mbps/512 Kbps)
Taxes : $13
TOTAL : $147
Comparable service from AT&T U-Verse would look like this…
U200 TV : $59
2 Additional Receivers : $14
Unlimited Local & Long Distance : $30
High Speed Internet: $43 (6 Mpbs/1 Mpbs)
Bundle Discount : -$17
Estimated Taxes : $20
TOTAL : $149
So, it would actually cost us slightly more each month if we switched to AT&T U-Verse. I guess we’ll leave things as they are.
