There is no contract and there are no installation charges. So we will only be billed by AT&T for the actual number of days we have the service with them. We've been advised to keep our Comcast until we're sure we like the U-verse. But we expect to incur charges from Comcast to reconnect what the AT&T tech disconnects if we decide to discontinue the U-verse and reconnect the Comcast.
We're hoping that the tech can answer a lot of our questions before actually starting any work inside our home. From what I've learned, after they come to your door they'll go outside to find where the nearest equipment is located and can explain whether they need to add additional equipment outdoors on our unit or in our basement. We live in a duplex condo. The gas meters for our unit and our neighbor are located outside our unit. (Their gas line runs through the rafters of our basement.) The electric, telephone and cable are located outside our neighbor's unit and run through the rafters of their basement into our unit. If we don't like what we hear from the tech after he checks all this we could cancel at that time and incur no charges at all. If he expects that we can be connected without a lot of hassle then we'll give it a try.
