Uverse... is anyone else having problems?
16 years ago
General
We switched our internet and TV over to Uverse...
... so far, I can't say I'm impressed.
Yes, it's nice to have 3 independent boxes that can link to a central DVR
Yes, it's nice to have a higher downstream.
... however, if the router looses signal, EVERYTHING goes down. TV, Net... everything.
It's happened at least 15 times since we got it (5 of them happeneing tonight, and it's ongoing as you read ths), and we've had the system for less than 2 months. Yes, everything is plugged in correctly... we even got a new twisted pair phone line for the house, and it hasn't changed a thing.
I can't find anything reguarding AT&T's maintinence schedule, so I can't say if that's it. The problem definately isn't on our end... since it worked before and after the line replacement, and it still happens...
Is anyone else having the same issues we're having?
Edit 1: 10-19. Failure @8:35
Edit 2: 10-20. Failure at 2:45 am, 5:50 pm, and 5:55 pm
Edit 3: 10-20. Possible cause isolated, a router.
Edit 4: 10-20. Failure @ 7:20. Supposed router was not plugged in priot to failure. Possible wireless issue is suspected.

We tried calling to resolve it, which lead to the twisted pair line we have going to the house now (We used to have a straight line from 30 years ago). The connection still drops out, and (as said) we've had the system less than 2 months.
The only hunch I have is a neighbors laptop keeps disrupting the box...
