Yes, I definitely do have Uverse, not DSL.  I had DSL from 2003 until 
2014, or so, when it got too expensive and then switched to Uverse.  In 
fact one of the AT&T repair men told me that I probably wouldn't be able 
to get DSL back, even if I wanted to.  According to him they were 
planning to phase out DSL service.
