LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Central Arkansas-area residents now have a new -- and better -- choice for their television and communications services. AT&T Inc. today announced the launch of the company's integrated suite of AT&T U-verse(SM) services, including AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice.
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. AT&T U-verse TV, High Speed Internet and Voice services are all delivered over AT&T's advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network.
Customers can currently order AT&T U-verse services in parts of more than six local communities, including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Cammack Village, Maumelle and Sherwood. AT&T will make U-verse services available to more homes throughout the area on an ongoing basis.
"With the launch of AT&T U-verse TV, central Arkansas customers are finally getting a better choice to break free from cable," said Ryan Stafford, AT&T general manager for Arkansas and Oklahoma. "And we're taking it even further by making their services work together and offering cool features they can't get anywhere else."
Ed Drilling, president AT&T Arkansas, said, "We want to recognize the elected city leaders as well as the city managers, attorneys and others who have worked with us as we prepared to launch AT&T U-verse. They are to be commended for encouraging competition and consumer choice in their communities."
A Better Television Choice With AT&T U-verse TV
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 access to more than 45 High Definition (HD) channels.
Where available, local AT&T U-verse customers can enjoy numerous TV benefits, including:
