The entire lawsuit is premised on U-Verse being used with other services. Waht you're saying about AT&T mandating the cutting off other services is simply untrue.
I don't know why you would want a DSL + U-Verse set up, as U-Verse internet is cheap and fast when compared with DSL.
I've got U-Verse too, and my installation was excellent (and simple). Though I'm sure that out of thousands of installs some idiot technician has screwed up, I do not understand why Comcast is connected to people who are subscribed. They have their box, they can cut off their cancelled customers.
I have had so many problems with Comcast screwing everything up. At least with U-verse I got a secured wireless internet connection that has never been offline (and hasn't even slowed down) since I set up service. Faster torrents I've ever run, btw. It's about $30 cheaper than comcast, and the TV and Internet are just better.
AT&T has a terrible customer service record, but I've haven't really had to deal with them.. .my bill has been exactly as expected, and I'm turning the screws on a Cable company monopoly that I'm sick and tired of. U-Verse wouldn't have a chance to exist if the cable companies were doing their best job.
Final point: the coax cable in my house that Comcast installed is an improvement to my home, and therefore is legally MY PROPERTY. It does not belong to Comcast in any way whatsoever. If Comcast is too stupid to disconnect my lines when U0Verse is running on them, or too stupid to filter (and deal with AT&T, who would probably benefit from some kind of filtering agreement) then that's Comcast's problem.
Comcast is just trying to sue away a competitor. Again. Screw them.
