my home phone and Internet else where also.
Hope you don't like HD, 'cause Dish doesn't have hardly anything compared to Uverse.
And, as this thread was on page one of the forum TODAY when you posted a new thread ... I don't know how you could have completely missed this and read all of the information that's been posted on this since it first came up. Doesn't appear you really wanted to find out what happened, more like just wanted something to gripe about. Since you've already been here, why not actually READ THE ENTIRE THREAD, to find out WHY AT&T moved it up ---- a cost increase from News Corp.
Besides, with U100, the DVR is $15 extra. Moving to U200, with that $10 increase, you GET the DVR included. And, really, to get the best Uverse experience IMHO, you really should have the DVR. (Helps you to watch TV a little "smarter", as well.) 
That is if a tree isn't in the way of the 121° satellite like it is here, I went w/Uverse and have been very happy for 3 1/2 years.

I am not really considering Dish, just DirectTV. I know several people in my neighborhood who have and like DirectTV. I have no need of a DVR.
When I first got U100, I saw nothing in U200 nor U300 to interest me; and I was not going to pay for U400.
As to this forum constituting a notification to customers, please, when did it become a customers responsibility to find out when a seller is changing
what they have been offering. As Clark Howard said; some companies make money by getting more customers; others (ie monopolies) get more
money by squeezing more out of the customers they have. ATT still thinks they are a monopoly.
I wasn't already in this thread, cause I do not come to this site often, I started a thread that was merged into this one. Like I said, it is not my responsibility
to keep up with ATT changes, they should treat their customers better by letting us know directly.

What would you have done differently if you had known prior to January 2nd that Fox News was begin removed from the U100 package and would only be available in the U200 and above packages?

First of all, I may have had a little more respect for ATT. What I am doing now is switching my home phone from Uverse to Nextiva. I have had my business line with them for two years with
little trouble. This will save money and I might have used it to go to U200. Instead I am changing to DirectTV in a couple months when the leaves are on the trees so I can be sure of getting
a good signal year round. I will then change my internet to Charter at 15 mbs for the same price as my 12 meg uverse. I will save a considerable amount for the first 6-12 months with these
changes and still save some after 12 months.

What I would have done is have more time and maybe found even better deals that blow ATT out of the water even more than Nextiva and DirectTV. Do you work for ATT? I see a resemblance in
your attitude.
Wow, another set of steak knives! Thank you.
You're waiting 2 months for DirecTV, how much more time do you need?

I am waiting till the leaves are on the trees so I can be sure I get good reception year round. I explained this in a previous post but {please keep it courteous}

With U-Verse you don't need to wait for no stinkin' leaves to get good reception.

No, but each of the last two summers I had tech service come out to replace my diplexor. The second summer it took four visits before they even checked the diplexor. You would have thought
they would have learned from the first summer. Not to mention the time they installed a new RG and plugged in the connections wrong so I had no phone service; and then charge me $55 to
come out and fix the problem they caused.
