I would agree with Allen that it is worse, at least in Madison. I have been<br>
with AT&T for almost 4 years on their 1.5Mb DSL service. In the past year I<br>
have noticed it getting slower, and I recently had to upgrade to the 3Mb<br>
circuit to get the same performance I was getting previously. I don't have<br>
a Comcast option (WOW has a monopoly in the city limits) and I have been so<br>
unimpressed by them from a consumer and business standpoint that I want<br>
nothing to do with them (we have their phone service at work).<br>
<br>
I remember reading somewhere that AT&T said that their U-Verse buildout was<br>
complete and they aren't planning on expanding it anytime soon. I live in a<br>
neighborhood of 300 houses near downtown Madison and our subdivision<br>
doesn't have it.<br>
