I was trying to increase my small business's internet speed. I have 6 phone lines (+1 fax line) and 8 PCs. I also have a wireless router for wireless devices. My neighboring business tried doing the same thing (upgrading from AT&T DSL to U-Verse). It went so horribly wrong, she switched back to DSL but not AT&T's. She was so mad at them she went through Birch for her DSL now. She has vowed to never get internet again from AT&T.
Here's what she told me:
1. With U-Verse, they pretty much never had internet for about a month. It was always down. She said it would never stay up for longer than half an hour then it would crash for the entire day.
2. She said it had something to do with what side of the road we were on?
3. She told me it "wasn't an option" for the businesses on this side of the road anymore.
Here's my take:
I know she doesn't know much about the IT world. From my understanding, U-Verse uses a combination of DSL copper wires with modern-age fiber optic wires. Why would this not work? If you have DSL and you are happy with that service (except the speeds), why would U-Verse be some much less dependable? Our DSL *knock on wood* always works, it's just slow as ever.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Why wouldn't it work?
