Not worth it...

I signed up and paid for the 3-month subscription, and got a free 4th Gen. Apple TV which is really nice. Unfortunately, the service itself is utterly horrible and buggy - whether via the iOS App, Apple TV App or via a web browser. Constant disconnects, "content unavailable" messages and a whole host of other issues make it unworthy of even the $35/mo. price tag. I certainly will not be renewing after the 3-month period. It's such a shame too, I really had high hopes for this service. I even have U-Verse Gigapower internet at home, so I certainly have a quick connection. Oh well, hopefully another service provider will come out with something more stable and/or AT&T fixes these irritating issues for future subscribers.
