[nfbcs] question about Uverse from AT&T

[Wm. Ritchhart]

My title is Senior IT Analyst.  The answer to your question on hiring is
somewhat complex.  If you are just a coder, the answer is NO.  If you
have program management type skills, can code and live in the right
city, (St. Louis MO, Chicago IL, Dallas TX or San Ramon CA), then maybe.
They also want you to have a degree.  

In the past seven months, I have seen several good people laid off.
While poor performers remain.  The reason for the lay off wasn't that
the people were not needed.  They had to train their replacements.  They
happened to sit in the wrong city.  Of the ten or so people I know
personally who were let go.  Only two of them were dead weight.   


THANKS, WILLIAM

Elizabeth,

I work for AT&T.  I can tell you that except for one person, everybody I
know who has gotten UVERSE has loved it.  The one person who did not
like
it, preferred the Serious radio that comes on DISH. 

As for the accessibility of UVERSE, it is as accessible as the TV
offerings
from other providers.  In other words.  Not very accessible.
You should be able to do the basic things for yourself.  However for
anything that requires you to use the menus, you will either need to
memorize the menu choices and buttons or get sighted assistance.   



THANKS, WILLIAM

Subject: [nfbcs] question about Uverse from AT&T

Hello everyone,

I wanted to find out if any of you are using the Uverse service for tv
and
Internet? I am seriously considering switching from my cable provider
because of receiving numerous bills that are incorrect as well as
unsatisfactory customer service.
There are some interesting features available on Uverse, such as the
ability
to set the DVR to record programs from the Internet.
My concern is how to access the menus to play back the programs. I doubt
those are accessible.
I don't have DVR with my cable provider because there is an extra
charge,
but it is free with the Uverse.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Liz
