As many of you may know the standard Uverse service has a 3400 foot limit from the VRAD. In my experiance as a tech the actual limit seems to be more like 3000 feet. In my area we have just started receiving the new RG which will be mounted on the outside of the house and, by using two pair bonding, be able to push the signal out to 5500 feet. I would guess that the limit will be more like 5000 feet. But this will increase the number of people that can receive the service as well as make it more dependable. Most current subscribers limited to the 19meg service profile will be able to get 32 meg very soon. The new RG will only be used on a case by case basis as it uses two VRAD ports to provide service instead of just one. There is no increase in price to the subscriber but it does lower AT&T profit margins. I would also like to add one last thing: If you neighborhood has telephone poles priving your service, Uverse will be a constant headache unless you are very close to the VRAD. Like around 1000 feet or less. This is due to constant water issues in the cable. If your service is buried you will do just fine as long as rehab or PLS has been through to cut out the Bridge taps in the area and/or rebuilt any old splices that may have become wet over the past 20 to 30 years. Of course it also helps if your neighbors and or landscapers are calling before they dig so they dont cut through the cable! LOL!

This is very interesting news as AT&T spent an entire day trying to get me u-verse but said I was just a little too far away. This was over a year ago. Can you suggest a way I can convince them to try again using this method?

Must be a real controversial answer. :)

I believe they are gonna start trialing pair bonding in my area toward the end of the summer. I have no idea when it will be in full swing in the southeast and actually offered to the public. Best advice I could give would be to find a local PremTech and ask if they offer it yet, since I'm not sure what region your in. As soon as I get any factual info (not just hear-say) about it in TN, I'll post it.

When you say the RG is mounted outside are you sure you don't me a special NID or ONT kind of like what Verizon uses with FIOS?

I am thinking about switching to Uverse and have a few questions.
1 Can I watch a taped show in one room and a different taped show in another room?
2 Are the local HD channels available?
3 If I am taping 3 shows at once, can I watch another show that was taped earlier at the same time?
4 is PBS one of the channel options?
Thanks

its called a Inid and yes its looks exactly the same as an ONT.. I've installed a few of them and have no clue how to get on the "List". Apparently there going back through customers we denied for loop length or people that want to go with the 19-2 profile, but there changing the 19-2 profile to 2hd and the 25 to 3 and 32 to 4hd streams in the near future which they have already done in Austin, tx.

iNID is a promising new technology. With pair bonding it should fix a lot of weak signal issues out there. I also like the fact that it eliminates the need for a homerun and corresponding backfeed into the home's existing wiring since it is (for the most part, anyway) right next to where the iNid would be mounted. I think eventually, it may even replace the standard RG in all new installations, if it can be made with an option to use only one pair for those times when pair bonding isnt necessary.
