Damn, this has me seriously wanting to potentially think about moving to KCK. I want to dump AT&T uverse so badly.
Gigabit and TV for $120 a month?!?!?! Damn.  :P
Just Gigabit internet for $70 a month would be well worth it.

Only areas in KCK and KCMo right now James. I am hoping my fair hamlet is allowed access then it is bye bye AT&T. I am kinda tempted to buy about two miles of some fiber cable and start stringing some poles to my house.

Way too long, but I only got uverse because the missus decides she can't live without cable.
I lived without it fine since college and the free cable days and I grew up OK.
