U-Verse upgrade without financial burden

Hello, I am a long time U-Verse consumer and for the longest time I have been disappointed with the limited channels of U-family.  How can I get upgraded to U-200 from U-family without increasing the monthly expense?  (get U-200 at the U-family rate)

@Andylegro That seems like the best choice, that would have been my recommendation. Obviously, checking your bill is extremely important (every month) but I do agree that DIRECTV putting the burden on you was an inconvenience. They should have deac

Charged for direct TV receiver no longer have 2 years later

This sounds all to familiar to me.

Thanks - I started the process, but I have to go to the Police Department and fill out a Police Report, for Direct TV to even investigate. Seems crazy - they are the ones that allowed an account to be opened without any verification of ID.  Eve

Does the Whole-Home communication data go through/interact/burden/put additional data load on my home router/network?

Does one burden the other? Or are they independent? Each box does show up when I map the entire system on my computer. So between computers and DVRs there are a bunch of "boxes" in my network now. My internet has slowed precipitously and I am trying to troublshoot the problem. Thanks. BTW, does conn
