Pfft! I love FiOS's bandwidth offerings, but AT&T U-Verse has been offering this for quite a bit longer!

If U-Verse can get their buts in gear and ramp up their UL/DL offerings then they have the potential to destroy cable in the markets they are in.

This isn't even news. Verizon FiOS customers, such as myself, have been able to do this for a while.

I've been using the service in Hillsboro Oregon since it became available last fall and absolutely love it. Aside from the typical HDCP issues with Motorollas boxes the interface is easy to use and the web access is a fantastic added benefit. The iTV app for iPhone has added Tivo support and will supposedly add more remote DVR services like Verizon. Did I mention I switched from Comcast and my monthly bill decreased by $40 to boot! Count me as an extremely pleased subscriber.

If the Roku box begins pulling in feeds like Hulu and YouTube I will be buying one for each family member
