We aren't sure how good of a deal this is overall, because we can't speak to whether AT&T's U-Verse Internet service is worth it, but if you are somehow in the position of needing new internet and wanting a new Xbox 360, SONOS PLAY:3, Kindle Fire or Nexus 7, then you might be intrigued by this Deal Alert. AT&T is offering a promo in which they giveaway one of these devices for free with a new sign-up to their Internet Service U-Verse. Here's a quote with the full details and a link,

AT&T* now offers new U-verse® High Speed Internet customers their choice of a free Wi-Fi enabled entertainment device – Xbox 360®, SONOS PLAY:3, Kindle Fire or a Nexus 7 Tablet – when they choose a package of U-verse services.

Customers signing up for U-verse High Speed Internet qualify for a free device when they add either U-verse TV or Voice service to the new Internet service. The free device, valued at up to $350**, provides even more value to popular AT&T U-verse bundles. Customers also receive access to the AT&T Wi-Fi network at no extra charge. And those who bundle U-verse TV and Internet benefit from more flexible connectivity with a free wireless gateway. In addition to state of the art connectivity and entertainment, U-verse packages offer customers significant savings.

“Customers tell us they enjoy access to their in-home Wi-Fi network and the freedom to use more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots across the country, which is why we’re building new bundle offers around our broadband services,” said Mel Coker, chief marketing officer, AT&T Home Solutions. “We know when customers bundle U-verse Internet, TV and voice services, they have higher customer satisfaction and engagement. Customers tell us that packing the services gives them even more reasons for love U-verse.

The offer is the latest example of AT&T responding to customer feedback. In 2012, U-verse introduced new bundle offers that deliver significant savings over 24 months. Triple- and quad-play bundle offers are popular among existing customers. In the fourth quarter of 2012, 90 percent of U-verse customers bundled U-verse TV and Internet, and 70 percent of customers had triple- or quad-play***.

AT&T added 609,000 U-verse High Speed Internet subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2012 to reach a total of 7.7 U-verse High Speed Internet million customers. Fifty-five percent of U-verse broadband subscribers have a plan delivering speeds up to 12 Mbps or higher.

Their cable service is as bad as their wireless one. Everyone I know is looking for alternative choice.

Uverse has been excellent for us, actually. We had Time Warner for years, tried Dish 2 years then have been with Uverse the past 5 years I think. We have 18mb internet and the U200 package and rarely have any problems. We did have a strange string of box failures the first year or so (I think we had 4 boxes sent out, all overnight though) but our current box has been fine for the past few years. When the box would go out, it was gone.. no signal at all. They overnighted all of the replacements.

Just another YMMV deal, one good experience vs one bad experience.

Uverse internet in my area is quite good from what I hear, but I have cable internet for $40 a month and it usually sits around 20 mbps. I only pay for 12. My coworkers who have uverse internet say their speeds are usually pretty close to what they pay for and they pay more than I do. The device is tempting but the 360 is soon to be replaced, a new line of Nexus 7 tablets are coming and I have no idea what a Sonos Play is. Kindle file too is bleh. I'll keep my existing Nexus 7 and cable internet.

Yeah, I think I pay $48/mo for 18mbps. Although it is always 18mbps on the dot.

I agree with the devices they are offering though, most of them are last gen stuff already. You'd be better to get whatever package you want (instead of the triple play or whatever crap they want to sell you) and buying a good used device. I've seen Nex7 on craigslist for $120-$140.
