I heard that ATT would want to use the existing cable, instead installing a new one.|||Yes. U-verse and cable services are completely different and separate. U-Verse enters your home on your common landline phone line, or in some localities via a dedicated fiberoptic cable.
BTW, as suggested above, U-Verse is not "cable TV." It's an entirely different technology.

Followup: there could be a minor issue regarding the coaxial cable that extends from the Brighthouse interface (outside) to your Internet modem. If that cable is also part of the path for your TV service, then there might be a need for a separate coaxial cable run for a portion of your installation, but it would be a minor portion.
You can avoid all that by transferring your Internet service from Brighthouse to U-Verse--easy to do, since you're getting U-Verse anyway. All you need is an ethernet cable from the U-Verse gateway (modem-router) to your computer. That would easily solve any issues about the coaxial cable in your house.|||Yes, you can keep Brighthouse Networks as an ISP. Brighthouse Networks provides internet access over a cable modem, Not DSL so you will have no problems with that. Just make sure that AT%26amp;T stays out of BHN's house box as it is technically trespassing. They are also notorious for steeling lines when they do installs. So if you do get AT%26amp;T make sure they leave you modem line in tact and alone. (they have been known to cut the line also)
