I don't use U-verse, but everybody I know that has it swears by it, which is why I was surprised at the sentiment of this article.
Looking at all the technical gripes the user raises, I guess its just another case of average person vs enthusiast-geek gap rearing its ugly head again.
- Encosia 16y agoFor what it's worth, I don't think my satisfaction with U-verse has anything to do with my (not) being an average user. Working from home as a developer, I put my Internet connections through the wringer. That's not even considering the half dozen other connected devices in the household, including some that are streaming Netflix and Hulu fairly regularly.

I was required to use a Windows computer because the activation page absolutely refused to load in any browser but Internet Explorer. Imagine if I didn't have anything other than my Macbook Pro?!

That's certainly a valid perspective if the reason that it works for the average person is the reason that it breaks for the enthusiast. e.g. one button mice, no user accounts on an iOS device, and so on. However, if it appears to work for an average user but irritates the enthusiast for no reason other than apathy on the part of the vendor, this is not the same calibre of trade-off.
