More Than 100,000 Living Units in Louisville Can Now Benefit from Video Choice with AT&T U-verse TV

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Video choice and competition have reached Louisville consumers in a big way.  AT&T* today announced that AT&T U-verse® services, including AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice, are now available to more than 100,000 living units across Louisville.

"Having U-verse in Louisville is good for competition and consumers," said Councilman Kevin Kramer. "I look forward to working with AT&T as they continue to invest in our city."

AT&T U-verse services, which are all delivered over AT&T's advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network, offer a new alternative to cable with a better DVR, better features and apps, and a better TV experience. AT&T U-verse brings together your TV, broadband, home phone and AT&T wireless services - all on one bill - with unique features that provide a new level of integration, convenience and control.

"Kentucky is well served by legislative leaders who understand the public policy environment necessary to attract investment and telecommunications expansion," said AT&T Kentucky President Mary Pat Regan. "This milestone is an important one, but we look forward to more good news in the future."

Since launching AT&T U-verse services in Louisville, Hopkinsville and Oak Grove, Kentucky, AT&T has continued its efforts to make the service more widely available to consumers. In just the first six months of this year, AT&T invested more than $80 million in its wireless and wireline networks to continue improving service for customers in Kentucky. Upgrades to the AT&T wireless network included new cell sites, expanded mobile broadband coverage and increased 3G capacity. The investment also included upgrades to the AT&T wireline infrastructure, such as expanded AT&T U-verse services, additional AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots, and extended reach of broadband services.

More Choice, Advanced Features

AT&T U-verse TV is the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider, making AT&T U-verse one of the most dynamic and application-rich services available today, with advanced capabilities that customers don't get from other providers.

Where AT&T U-verse services are available, U-verse TV customers can enjoy numerous features and applications, including the ability to manage their DVR recordings, and for qualifying TV customers, download and watch hit TV shows on select smartphones with U-verse Mobile; the freedom to manage and playback recorded programs from a single DVR on any U-verse connected TV in the house with Total Home DVR; the ability to choose and watch up to four of their favorite channels at one time with the exclusive My Multiview app; an extensive High Definition (HD) channel lineup with access to more than 155 HD channels; the ability to program DVR recordings from their Web-connected mobile phone or PC; personalized, on-screen weather, sports, traffic and stock information via AT&T U-bar; the ability to check the current weather conditions and forecasts in any U.S. city with Weather On Demand; and more.

Packages include a range of speeds, with the fastest downstream speeds up to 24 Mbps. All AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet packages include wireless home or office networking capability at no extra cost.

AT&T U-verse Voice is a managed IP-based service that is delivered over AT&T's fiber-rich network. This allows U-verse Voice customers to enjoy great sound quality and reliability, as well as unmatched calling features that integrate with your AT&T U-verse TV, high speed internet and AT&T wireless services.
