14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless carrier AT&T has recently announced that Knoxville area residents are now able to enjoy its AT&T U-verse services that deliver a new choice when it comes to television and communications. The company's offer includes the AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice services, which will be available for order starting today, October 26.
AT&T's U-verse services are being delivered over the company's advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network and come as an alternative to cable services. All U-verse TV, U-verse Internet, U-verse Voice and AT&T wireless services are brought together on a single bill, delivering a new kind of integration, as well as convenience and control. Moreover, AT&T also says that its U-verse TV service is ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction in the South Region Two Years in a Row,” in the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 and 2009 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction Studies.
“Today's launch of AT&T U-verse reflects our commitment to make the significant investments to bring Tennessee consumers a new era of true video competition,” Gregg Morton, president, AT&T Tennessee, commented on the launch. “For the first time in many years, consumers in the Knoxville area will now have the choice they've been waiting for.”
The new AT&T U-verse services come to the Tennessee area due to The Competitive Cable and Video Services Act of 2008, HB 1421, the wireless carrier announced. The legislation encouraged AT&T to invest in delivering the services to the area to compete against cable, the carrier stated. "This investment by AT&T is great news for Knoxville, as it brings exciting new technology and new jobs to our community," said Senate Speaker Pro Tempore Jamie Woodson. "As Tennessee policymakers, our goal was to increase investment throughout the state and give consumers more choices and innovative new services and I'm honored to help AT&T celebrate this launch."
