Uverse RFI W5VIN on 12/4/18
If you confirm that the source is Uverse, you can contact me directly discuss the matter. Most of these cases can be resolved with help from AT&T.

This is the first report that I've heard of this. When did you first call Eaton? Did you leave a message or try to call again? What is the current status of you complaint? Thanks.

Here is an update on this situation as of today for 2016. We have received a total of five AFCI complaints here at the ARRL since January.

Here is a brief run down on each:

1) Ham was referred to Eaton in February. No further issues were reported.
2) Ham was referred to Eaton in February. No further issues were reported.
3) Complaint involved a non-Eaton breaker. I believe the ham added chokes to mitigate the problem.
4) Ham was referred to Eaton in April. No further issues were reported.
5) Ham was referred to Eaton in June. No further issues were reported.

In summary, each of the four Eaton breaker complaints that we received this year were referred to Eaton for free replacements. After that referral, none of them has reported any further issues. Please also be assured that we are still monitoring the situation.

Thanks,

U-Verse customers probably number in the millions by now. Statistically speaking, we've had a surprisingly small number of complaints given from them. Offhand I don't recall any in the last few months and most of the older complaints were resolved.
