I had an intersting experience today.

I am due for an upgrade on Nov 20 and stopped by the ATT store to see if there was any flexibility on early upgrade and how long they anticipate stock to be in store.

The ATT store in my area is doing a sales blitz on the new ATT U-Verse home internet and apparantly they are motivated.

I had no intention of subscribing, but the guy explained that if I did, he would order my iPhone 5 TODAY and I should have it in 2-3 weeks.

They didn't hold any payment for the U-Verse and it was in the contract that I can cancel any time before installation with no fee and the phone will still be shipped.

After looking at the fiber optic cable speeds and savings over my bundled Brighthouse package, I may actually go with the U-Verse, but at least have a phone on the way.

I am in sales and extremely skeptical, but went over the contract with a microscope and it was definitely legitimate in the cancellation policy.
