One last thought on this thread... the Uverse seems to be working ok but not great. There are still some pauses but it works so maybe I can limp along for another 6 months or so as supposedly AT&T is delivering fiber to my neighborhood.

My company is having me test a TV streaming service that is not yet available to the public. I have the streaming service set up on a different TV that our main TV. I have been watching the streaming service more lately and the odd thing is that it never has an issue. As long as the internet is working, it works, no pauses, no problems. Maybe the streaming service has a better buffer or cache than the Uverse, I am not sure.
