AT&T announces the launch of AT&T U-verse services in parts of the Memphis metropolitan area, including AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice. The services will be available for order beginning Monday, Aug. 17.

AT&T U-verse services, which are all delivered over AT&T’s advanced Internet Protocol network, offer a new alternative to cable and an unmatched experience for customers. AT&T U-verse brings together your U-verse TV, U-verse Internet, U-verse Voice 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 TV ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction in the South Region,” according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction Study.

AT&T is introducing U-verse services in Tennessee thanks to The Competitive Cable and Video Services Act of 2008, HB 1421, signed into law by Gov. Bredesen on May 15, 2008. This legislation provides an environment that encourages new video providers, such as AT&T, to invest in Tennessee to compete against the incumbent cable providers and build the advanced broadband networks that will create jobs and fuel economic growth. On the first day that this new law became effective, AT&T filed its initial application for a state-issued certificate of franchise authority to offer video services in communities in Tennessee.

AT&T U-verse launched across the greater Nashville-area in December 2008.
