U-Verse TV

I have been trying for weeks unsuccessfully to get U-verse TV. I have the high-speed internet and the technician that installed it said I have optimal signal strength for the TV service and to call back to add it. However for weeks I've talked to so many people (foreigners) who keep telling me the service is unavailable! My neighbor right next door on the same side of the street has it. They technician said they can validate the address. I have unsuccessfully been validated, escalated and still, no one can help me! I love my AT&T wireless service and the customer support. But the u-verse team is horrible and AT&T has dropped the ball on assistants get customers in the same position as me. My mom had the same problem in her senior apartments, other people in her building had it but they told her she couldn't several times. Not sure how but she finally got through to some one. Any suggestions?

This David T. never replied past his initial response. Just like customers service AT&T once again had dropped the ball with their service. My issue still remains unresolved!

Give him some more time. He responded yesterday. He may need to do some research on your account. You are in good hands.

Hi,

 

Sorry for not sending the initial response back. I received your message yesterday, and as browndk26 stated, I am working with my team to research this issue. I was hoping to get some feedback before relaying a message, and I apologize about not acknowledging your message. I am doing everything I can to get you service, and I will keep you posted as I get more information.

Hi,

I have heard back from my team, and they informed me that the facilities are currently not available to extend the TV service to you. I apologize about this. We are always expanding our service, so I am hoping we will be able to provide you with service in the future.

Thank you,
David T

So....let me get this straight....my neighbor at 409 can U-Verse TV, but me at 407 can't?!?! What kind of sense does that make?!?!

There are many people in your situation & it must be very painful.There are two items here that do make sense.

 

First, i fit is distance that is a problem there must be a cutoff point. There must be many analogies. ONe that comes tomind is walking up to the top edge of a sheer cliff. The next step is only one step, but not possible.

 

The second is the availability of ports in the VRAD. If it is full, it is full. Think of not getting a seat on the flight you desperately want .

 

If you are close enough for pair bonding, the extra pair might mnot be available.

 

It is painful, but not fantasy. Just a little vague.

My house is closer to the signal, neighbors is farther. Per the technician that installed my high speed internet.

Service technician also told me I have optimal signal at my address to terminal. He is also working to get my service, sending a screenshot of signal to AT&T and sent in an escalation to on my behalf since the AT&T folks in the office can't seem to get this straightened it. As I stated before my mom went throttle same thing in her apartment building. They finally got it straight and she now has u verse tv...in the meantime I'm frustrated and seriously thinking about going back to cable.
