Here's something to stir up the thread. WHERE IS U-BAR? I don't care how crappy it is I just want it.

I never want to have another day like today EVER AGAIN!!! WARNING, this is long! 
Made arrangements to have the rear brakes fixed on the car and was having my friend pick me up so I could show her some more stuff about Uverse.
I've had health issues and the latest one is a badly infected toe, that I would have gladly hacked off at 1AM to get it to stop hurting. Was going to cancel everything when I tried an handful of motrin so the toe settled down and I decided to keep the appt for the car and would call the docs to get an antibiotic.

Get to Goodyear at 8:15, called and left a message for my doctor, including the phone number where I would be at and my friend picked me up and we went back to her house.
First thing I see, the TV in the LR, the picture if frozen and would not come back up at all. In fact, even channels she should have had, weren't showing, so I tried the soft reset, using the remote, (okay, I'm lazy! 
) and it would not reset! 
) and it would not reset! Hit the power button, did the reset that way and got the TV back working fine, but then I find out, they have been having the freezing and pixelation issues for about the last week.
So, I go into the MDC and about dropped dead when I saw the numbers. Collected for 34 days, 4 BILLION corrected blocks, 4 MILLION uncorrected blocks, loss of signal errors, DSL unavailable and thousands of errors, regular and severe, so I called AT&T, T1, bumped me up to T2 and she had problems with the equipment sending her a reading and at that point I'm thinking....what else will go wrong??? (little did I know!)
So I read the numbers to her and she scheduled a tech visit for today between 10 and noon. The guy called and showed up there about 20 minutes later. 
He saw the numbers so he went to the NID and then went to the VRAD on the other street, figuring he would maybe have to replace the port. He warned us the TV would go out, but when that happened, so went the phone too and little did I know, the doctors office and my husband were trying to get in touch with me as the doctor wanted to see me at noon and it was already after 11AM!!!
Flew to Goodyear, got the car and flew to the docs, but not before warning my friend, make sure your phone is working before they leave!!!
I guess they got her back up and running but I would have loved to have been there to find out what the problem actually was. (Danged toe!!) I have to call her shortly to see what she can tell me.
By the way, the tech did change the port at the VRAD, but still was not getting a good signal from the NID, and after he verified what I told him, no phone service, he put in a call to I&R.
He seemed to feel the problem was on the ouside of the house, but couldn't be 100% sure.
I'm finally in the right place at the right time and I couldn't stay!!! 
Thank goodness for the DVR because I am not sure I will be awake too much longer and will miss my programs tonight!

I was just about to ask you how things worked out with your friend. Glad to hear that.

Sheryl Crow really stands up well in HD.
Unless she's got really bad gas all the time or really smelly webbed feet or something like that, Lance Armstrong really messed up IMHO.

I learn a lot from trial and error and my own experiences/experiments. Sometimes I will learn something from someone suggesting one thing, then I take it to another level and go a step further. We are moving to Wyoming, which is Qwest territory in June, but I will still try to be as active on here as I can. I will not be able to help in any new situations or with newer features, but I can surely help with basic things and more advanced things that I might have some knowledge in.

Koolkid is very knowledgeable about a lot of the issues on this site. I have seen people post that issues should be directed to KK. KK what do you do that you know so much about so many different issues? Not trying to be nosey but I must say it is impressive.
I will miss not being able to experience WHDVR and other 'announced yet pushed back' features in person, but I really can't do anything about it (unless AT&T wants to buy Qwest
)Some of you may have noticed that my activity has declined slightly on the boards, and that is just life in college taking over a little more (the semester ends in a month, it has gone by real fast IMO). I will sometimes read a thread, but will revisit it after a period of time if it hasn't been answered. I will say that it has been a pleasure working with some of the 'regulars' (you guys know who you are
).For example the manual for the RG. Someone suggested to look up the FCC ID for something (I have already forgotten exactly what) and then I found the manual as well as a few other things.
Speaking of Wyoming, my mom just found this article regarding their fiber project (and a pool
): http://www.powelltribune.com/news1.htm. I don't know how long the link will be active though, I think they put their latest story on that link, but I don't think they archive the older ones. Any takers for a name? We will certainly be one of the first subscribers, probably second as city administrator Zane Logan has already said he will be first I really like the idea of an open off topic thread, just a place to unwind and have a good chat without going off topic and making people angry (and yet...we still manage to do that too from time to time
).

They were trialing something very similar to U-verse, FTTN, VDSL to the home, IPTV service, but I think the last I heard was they have stopped and said that sort of program will never go anywhere Their internet service over the VDSL link is only 256K-1.5Mb/s downstream 1Mb/s upstream though and their ADSL goes up to 7Mb/s...No wonder nobody liked it...
They also rebrand DirecTV service.
If you are referring to the fiber project, the city is installing a municipal FTTP network to every house in the city
