By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributing Editor

AT&T (News - Alert) has expanded availability of its U-verse TV and U-verse high speed Internet services in selected Atlanta, Georgia communities. The company plans to continue expanding its coverage in the region.

 

"AT&T has made a commitment to help customers in the Southeast benefit from faster and wider delivery of innovative new services like AT&T U-verse," said Sylvia Anderson, president of AT&T’s Georgia division, in a statement.

 

Anderson continued: "Our customers will reap the rewards when they experience AT&T U-verse TV. We look forward to expanding U-verse services and video choice to more customers in the Southeast."

 

AT&T claims to be the only national service providers to offer a 100 percent IP-based television (IPTV) service.

 

Thanks to IP technology the customers get advanced capabilities coupled with access to more than 40 High Definition (HD) channels.

 

"We're excited that our Atlanta customers will be the first in the Southeast to know why we say U-verse TV is cooler than cable," said Rob Bentley, AT&T vice president and general manager for the Southeast region. "We're bringing them unmatched features, an extensive HD channel lineup, more control over their services and a great value."

 

AT&T U-verse customers can enjoy numerous TV benefits including an attractive selection of TV packages; more HD channels than the major local cable providers; and the ability to change DVR settings from any location.

 

With AT&T Yahoo! Web and Mobile Remote Access to DVR, users can schedule recordings from any Web-connected PC or compatible AT&T mobile phone by using their AT&T high speed Internet account.

 

U-verse enabled AT&T to offer more bandwidth and faster available speeds to meet the needs of its consumer and small business broadband users.
