More Atlanta-area residents now have a new — and better — choice for their television and communications services. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced the expanded availability of AT&T U-verseSM TV and U-verse enabled AT&T High Speed Internet in parts of local Atlanta communities. AT&T will make U-verse services available to more homes throughout the area on an ongoing basis.

AT&T U-verse brings together your TV, broadband and AT&T wireless services — all on one bill — with unique features that provide a new level of integration, convenience and control. AT&T U-verse services are all delivered over AT&T’s advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network.

“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, AT&T Georgia president. “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 is the only national service provider to offer a 100 percent IP-based television (IPTV) service. IP technology helps make AT&T U-verse TV one of the most dynamic and feature-rich services available today, with advanced capabilities that customers don’t get from other providers and 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.”

Where available, local AT&T U-verse customers can enjoy numerous TV benefits, including:

AT&T U-verse offers multiple combinations of TV and Internet packages to customize your experience. U-verse TV offers five programming packages — U100, U200, the popular U300 and U400 packages, plus U-family, a market-leading family-friendly programming option. Current AT&T U-verse TV pricing starts at $44 a month, depending on the selected programming package (taxes, fees and other monthly charges apply).

Professional installation of all U-verse services is included for new U-verse TV customers. Customers who order a qualifying programming package by phone through May 24, 2008, are eligible to choose a free month of the U200, U300 or U400 package or a $50 cash-back redemption by gift check ($100 if both TV and Internet are ordered). Customers who order qualifying TV and Internet packages online will receive both a free month of the TV package and a $100 cash-back redemption.

U-verse enabled AT&T High Speed Internet offers more bandwidth and faster available speeds to meet the needs of every consumer or small business broadband user, including four package options:

All U-verse enabled AT&T High Speed Internet packages include wireless home networking at no extra cost, giving customers the freedom to access online photos, streaming video, games and other information from a wireless-enabled laptop or other device. Subscribers also receive virtually unlimited e-mail storage, powerful anti-virus and anti-spam software and access to the nation’s largest Wi-Fi network with free unlimited connectivity at more than 10,000 AT&T Wi-FiSM hot spots.

In 2007, the Consumer Choice for Television Act was sponsored by Representative Jeff Lewis and carried in the Senate by Senator David Shafer, and it was passed overwhelmingly by the Georgia General Assembly and signed by Governor Perdue.

AT&T is deploying next-generation AT&T U-verse services as part of its mission to connect people with their world, everywhere they live and work, and do it better than anyone else. Through AT&T U-verse and the company’s 100 percent IP platform, consumers will benefit from integrated AT&T services across the three screens they value the most: the TV, the PC and the wireless phone.
